Batum (19 points) almost became the hero of a historic match

During the loss of the Los Angeles Clippers once morest Sacramento following two overtime (175-176), Nicolas Batum (19 points) missed the winning shot.

The Minnesota Timberwolves, in the heat of the playoffs, resumed the regular season with a loss at home once morest Charlotte, a team yet offside. Guided by Gordon Hayward (27 points) and LaMelo Ball (32 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists decisive), the team of Theo Maledon (currently in the G-League) had nothing to lose. So much so that she played loose to eventually win in Minneapolis (113-121). Despite its double-double, Rudy Gobert might not do anything regarding it (17 points at 7/9 on shots, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks in 30 minutes).
