The record of the Hawks and their Geneva this season in the NBA is once more negative. They lost (122-101) once morest Detroit.
Clint Capela has to face the criticism. Often praised for his performances since his arrival in the NBA, the Genevan is going through a more complicated pass on the side of Atlanta. Wednesday night, he scored just one small point in the Hawks’ loss to Detroit.
His playing time is affected: only 17’27 once morest the Pistons. He also grabbed nine rebounds. Too little to prevent his family from falling below the 50% win mark this season (36 wins, 37 losses), and to rank 10th in the Eastern Conference.
Golden State rebondit
The Golden State Warriors ended their losing streak with spectacular success in Miami (118-104), leader in the East.
The Warriors, deprived of their star Stephen Curry, remained on three consecutive losses including a last in Orlando (94-90), where they had collapsed at the end of the match.
Dallas – Houston 110 – 91
Boston – Utah 125 – 97
Miami – Golden State 104 – 118
Charlotte – New York 106 – 121
Detroit – Atlanta 122 – 101
Indiana – Sacramento 109 – 110
LA Lakers – Philadelphia 121 – 126
Portland – Saint Anthony 96 – 133
Minnesota – Phoenix 116 – 125
Oklahoma City – Orlando 118 – 102
Memphis – Brooklyn 132 – 120
Steve Kerr responded by resting Draymond Green and Klay Thompson and his experimental team, thanks to 30 points and 9 assists from Jordan Poole, gave themselves the leader and a prestigious victory.
The meeting gave rise to an incredible scene on the Miami side. An argument broke out between Jimmy Butler and Udonis Haslem, the latter having to be restrained by a teammate. Their coach Erik Spoelstra got involved and exchanged hot words with Butler.
For the Heat, the gap is closing behind him. The Boston Celtics continued their series by crushing the Utah Jazz (125-97) despite the double double from Rudy Gobert (14 points, 11 rebounds) and 37 points from Donovan Mitchell. This fifth success in a row for Boston owes a lot to Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, both authors of 26 points.
In a match that looked like a points festival, the Memphis Grizzlies, deprived of star Ja Morant, offered the Nets (132-120). Even though Kyrie Irving delivered another flashy performance for Brooklyn with 43 stacked points. Just like Kevin Durant who scored 35 points.
Not enough in the face of the solidarity of the Tennessee franchise. “It’s the most cohesive team I’ve ever been part of,” savors the back of Memphis Desmond Bane (23 points). “We weathered the storm, held on and took the win.”
The Lakers without LeBron James
The Philadelphia 76ers of Joel Embiid, author of 30 points, began their journey of three games away by winning 126-121 once morest the Lakers.
The Angelinos were without LeBron James due to a sore knee. James Harden with 24 collected points participated in this 45th success for the Sixers, who have exactly the same record (45-27) as Milwaukee, second in the Eastern Conference.
