We start with the main event of the night, the clash between the defending champions, the Bucks, and the Lakers who are still struggling. And in this long-awaited game, there wasn’t as much drama as the Bucks’ impressive dominance showed so much. After five minutes of watching and warming up, the Bucks used the second gear to take the lead. A small run by Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton while LeBron James is resting and nothing is wrong with the Lakers’ CT anymore. Giannis is perfect, the Bucks are having fun and the Lakers are taking 38 of them. The second quarter, by the way, is no prettier for the Angelinos. The defense is completely lost, they concede 40 points and the bucks shoot 77% on shots!! With 20 points again for the Middleton-Giannis duo, the 7 points of Grayson Allen and so, Mrs. the good passage by Austin Reaves don’t change anything. The Lakers are sinking, are more than 20 points behind and nothing is going right. Especially since a does not arrange himself at the return of the locker room. This time, it’s Bobby Portis who is having fun with his 11 points including a nice 3/5 3pts and the Lakers no longer know where to give head. In spite of everything, they do not give up forcefully and manage to gradually diminish the other. In the fourth quarter, Milwaukee went down a gear and LeBron James and company took advantage of it to get back 10 small points. However, Giannis is far too strong and will finish the job to win, with the manner, 131-116. The two-time MVP finishes with 44 points 17/20 on shots!! 14 rebounds and 8 assists to Middleton’s 21 points and Portis’ 23. James finished with 27 points and 8 assists, AD with 22 points and 8 rebounds and Westbrook with 10 points and 10 rebounds. One game to forget for the Lakers, and one big question to do…before can be the trade deadline.
From the CT of Phoenix on the other hand, everything is for the better despite the coming of Joel Embiid. And yet, it was no small matter as the Sixers were in good shape on this part. It took until the last moments to see the fate of the match decided. Before that, we had beautiful duels like the one between Embiid and Mikal Bridges in the 1st quarter, then the heat stroke of Tobias Harris in the second and Devin Booker in the 3rd. Thanks to this quarter, Booker managed to bring his team back, because the Sixers had a 14-point lead and thought they were flying to a very solid victory. But the Suns aren’t the most clutch team in the league for nothing. A roundly different last quarter, a duo Paul-Booker ultra clutch and the Suns soar to another victory, 114-109. Despite everything, Embiid had a very good game with his 34 points and 12 rebounds as did Harris with his 30 points. Booker finished with 35 points and 13 double-doubles with 16 points and 12 assists.
We finish the rsum of the night with the other matches, ple-mle:
Minnesota easily prevailed against the Kings, 164-114, thanks in particular to the 25 pts 74% on shots from Karl Anthony Towns as well as with the heat stroke of Malik Beasley. In the meantime Domantas Sabonis, Fox had a lot of fun despite the big mistake with 29 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.
From Indiana’s CT, no suspense with the 133-112 loss to the Hawks. The latter have a lead of up to 35 points thanks in particular to the 34 points and 11 assists of Trae Young and despite the duo’s 49 points Chris Duarte-Lance Stephenson.
The Celtics, better lately, have also had fun but from the Brooklyn CT who enchants the galres. It must be said, however, that in addition to the 44 points of the duo Brown-Smart, and without the need to force, there were no members of the big three in front… Easier as a result.
No problems either for the Grizzlies who have largely taken over the Clippers, 135-109, l also by having rcupr up to 34 points ahead. J.A. Morant a t very good, in addition to having reu an ugly foul of Brother Morris, with 30 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Brandon Clarke a t very good coming off the bench and YYYY excellent with his 26 points and 11 rebounds. A sorrowful Russia from all sides for the Grizzlies.
Fourth win in a row for the Pelicans with this 110-97 win over the Rockets. In the meantime C. J. McCollum and company, Brandon Ingram did the job with 26 points, against the 27 of Kevin Porter Jr.
Even fewer difficulties for the Mavs who made only a mouth of the Pistons, winning 116-86. With a 37-point lead in the 3rd quarter and no opposing player more than 18 points, the Mavs rallied a good part despite the weak opposition. Luka finishes in 33-11-7, Jens Brunson with 21 and Trey Burke with 18pts.
We finish with the Nuggets who also had fun against the Knicks with 83 points in the 1st half!!! This victory, 132 115 was easily acquired thanks to the 21-11-7 of Jokic, to the 20 points of Jamychal Green and Will Barton, but also to the 21 points of Bones Hyland who in addition has humiliated Kemba Walker. On 28-10-6 of Randle will not be enough to limit the case.
As for the Blazers, again imperfect, this time against the Magic, 113-95 with certainly 6 players above the 10 points but a crazy collective weakness. Opposite, Cole Anthony had fun with his 23-7-9, just like the duo Mo Bamba, Wendell Carter Jr the interior.
