Anthony Davis monstrous once morest the Bucks
Los Angeles Lakers @ Milwaukee Bucks : 133-129
Great win for the Lakers. Perhaps even a trigger match for the Darvin Ham team, admittedly still irregular but which has shown real progress in recent weeks. His players have paid the head of one of the very big favorites by going to win on the floor of the Bucks. Anthony Davis delivered an exceptional performance by passing 44 points on the face of Giannis Antetokounmpo. LeBron James supported him well with his 28 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists. The King has also surpassed Magic Johnson in the number of career caviars distributed and ranks sixth All-Time.
What a performance by Anthony Davis.

Antetokounmpo also reached the 40 pawn mark, all stacks, but the Bucks, renowned for their defense, left far too many easy baskets for their opponents. “They made their life in painting“, even regretted the double-MVP. This defeat somewhat spoils Khris Middleton’s return to competition. The All-Star rear made his debut this season and he scored 17 points (with 7 assists).
Philadelphia Sixers @ Memphis Grizzlies : 109-1117
Joel Embiid’s 35 points weren’t enough for Philadelphia. Still deprived of Tyrese Maxey and James Harden, the Sixers lost to Memphis. Jaren Jackson Jr had a very good game (22 points, 4 blocks) and Ja Morant scored 28 points. Very big job also from Steven Adams, author of 9 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists while defending on Embiid.
New Orleans Pelicans @ San Antonio Spurs : 117-99
Tenth straight loss for Spurs. They mightn’t do anything once morest Zion Williamson and the Pelicans. In great shape, the first pick of the 2019 draft compiled 30 points and 15 rebounds. Jonas Valanciunas also posted a double-double (21-11). New Orleans completely locked the racket once morest a San Antonio team that was too young and not strong enough. The Pelicans are approaching first place in the West while the Spurs are dead last.
Victorious comeback for Jimmy Butler
Miami Heat @ Boston Celtics : 120-116
Very good victory for Miami in this clash which smelled good of the playoffs in Boston. The return of Jimmy Butler, absent for 7 matches, was good for the Heat, victorious following overtime. The All-Star guard scored 25 points while grabbing 15 rebounds and he scored the basket for the win in OT. The Floridians also managed to stifle Jayson Tatum, limited to 14 points and 5 of 18 on shots when he had planted 49 points during the last meeting between the two teams a few days ago.

Jaylen Brown took on the scoring by slamming 37 points including an award-winning basket with the board late in the game to snatch the extra five minutes. But that was not enough in front of the collective power of the Heat. Bam Adebayo scored 28 points, Tyler Herro 26 and Kyle Lowry scored 20. It’s only the Celtics’ fifth loss this season. They had even just chained 10 consecutive victories in front of their public.
Washington Wizards @ Charlotte Hornets : 116-117
The Wizards’ big comeback attempt failed, but it didn’t go far. Led by 19 points at the start of the fourth quarter, Bradley Beal (33 points) and his partners completely suffocated the Hornets in the last 12 minutes (28-10). But Terry Rozier (25 points) and his family barely held on. It’s Washington’s fifth loss in the last six games.
Denver Nuggets @ Atlanta Hawks : 109-117
No Trae Young but no problem for the Hawks. Rookie AJ Griffin took over perfectly in the five majors by scoring 24 points in this great victory once morest the Nuggets. Dejounte Murray took charge of the attack and he compiled 34 points and 8 assists. Nikola Jokic finished with 24 points, 10 rebounds and 8 caviars but he was quite discreet offensively in the second half.
Brooklyn continues the victories!
Toronto Raptors @ Brooklyn Nets : 105-114
Decidedly, the Nets are getting better and better. They delivered a very good team performance on Friday night and the Raptors paid the price. 27 assists for Jacque Vaughn’s players and 53% shooting success. They spun the ball and gave each other easy baskets. Kevin Durant finished with 17 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists without forcing (6 of 10). 27 points for Kyrie Irving. Brooklyn thus built an advantage of more than 20 points before Toronto limited the breakage. This is the fourth victory in a row for the New Yorkers, sixth in the East.
Orlando Magic @ Cleveland Cavaliers : 96-107
Donovan Mitchell confided following the meeting that it had been a long time since he had had so much fun on a basketball court and it showed. He planted 16 points in the first 9 minutes, one unit more than the entire Magic team. The new star of the Cavaliers set the tone of the meeting and his teammates surfed on his 34 points to win. Cleveland is increasingly asserting itself as the third team in the East.
The Rockets shock the Suns who “chok”
Houston Rockets @ Phoenix Suns : 122-121
On the final possession of the game, the Suns missed 4 shots. So many opportunities to send the game into overtime. Devin Booker missed 2, even though he finished with 41 points. Prior to that, Phoenix also squandered a 16-point lead in the second period. Monty Williams’ players let this game slip away. But that doesn’t take anything away from the great performance of the Rockets, heroic on the way back from the locker room. Jalen Green scored 30 points.
Suns had multiple chances to win the game.

Indiana Pacers @ Utah Jazz : 119-139
The duel between the two surprise teams at the start of the season turned to the advantage of the Jazz, which chained there a second victory in a row following losing several matches in a row. Lauri Markkanen led the charge with 24 points and 13 rebounds.
Chicago Bulls @ Golden State Warriors : 111-119
The defending champions continue their rise. Last night, it was Jordan Poole who caught fire by slamming 7 3-point baskets to finish with 30 units on the clock. Draymond Green was also excellent and went to a small rebound from the triple-double (13-9-10). Performance necessary to fill the relative awkwardness of Stephen Curry (6 out of 16). It’s the seventh victory in the last ten games for Golden State.
