The Clippers signed their best game of the season once morest the Celtics, neither more nor less. Kawhi Leonard also with 25 points. Above all, Tyronn Lue’s Troopers defense was notable for limiting the league’s best offense to just 93 points. A very big game for the Californians, therefore, with Nicolas Batum at 7 points and 7 rebounds. It’s a second straight loss for the 2022 finalists.
Damian Lillard (38 points) signed the performance of the evening with eleven 3-point baskets once morest Wolves. In just three quarters! Rudy Gobert (16 points and 20 rebounds) and his teammates sank in this part. After having known hell for almost a month, with eleven defeats in a row, the Spurs have found some color in recent days. The proof with a third victory in a row, once morest Cleveland. The Cavaliers made the effort to come back but were too short at the end.
Another victory in Texas, with that of Dallas. Luka Doncic was back, he shone with 38 points and the Mavericks were stronger than Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 42 units. The Grizzlies are still in good shape with a sixth straight victory, despite the absence of Ja Morant. It must be said that their evening opponent, Atlanta, was even more diminished (Trae Young and Dejounte Murray absent).
The Heat flexed their muscles to dominate the Pacers in a low-scoring game. Tyrese Haliburton never found the target (0/9 on the shot) and Jimmy Butler made the difference in the last quarter, with seven points in a row. Finally, the Nets continue to accumulate victories with a fourth place once morest the Wizards. As always, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving scored (54 points) and Washington is in crisis with seven straight losses. And more bad news: Kristaps Porzingis got hit in the back…
