On Saturday night, NBA fans watched as several great games went down to the wire, or into overtime. Among the big winners for the night were the Boston Celtics, Detroit Pistons, and Toronto Raptors. Here are five top stars from Saturday's action.
Gordon Hayward - Boston Celtics
After looking less than 100 percent for a number of games, Hayward made a change on Saturday. The former NBA All-Star put up 30 points, grabbed nine rebounds, and gave out eight assists as the Celtics defeated the Timberwolves!

Kawhi Leonard - Toronto Raptors
It won't be surprising if Kawhi Leonard is selected for the NBA All-Star team this season. His latest outing saw him record 34 points, nine rebounds, and two assists in a win against the Cavaliers.

Blake Griffin - Detroit Pistons
The defending champions finally had two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry back on the court. However, they ran into a tough team in Detroit. Blake Griffin led the way for a sweet win over the Warriors with 26 points, six rebounds, and five assists!

John Wall - Washington Wizards
Ignore all those trade rumors, for now. John Wall is ballin' out in Washington, D.C., once again. On Saturday, Wall scored 30 points to go with nine assists, and five rebounds. That helped the Wiz take down the Nets for the win.
