The Los Angeles Clippers, the next-but-one opponent of Viennese Jakob Pöltl’s Toronto Raptors, scored a clear home win on Monday (local time) with a 138:111 over the Phoenix Suns in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
The Clippers celebrated their sixth success in seven games, only losing in the city derby against the Lakers. The Raptors will next play against LeBron James’ team on Wednesday night.
The Milwaukee Bucks, however, are still not getting going. The 2021 NBA champions lost at home against the Utah Jazz 116:132, suffering their fourth defeat from the past five games. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 25 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds didn’t help, scoring his fourth triple-double of the season.
The Bucks remain second in the Eastern Conference behind the Boston Celtics, whose 131-133 defeat at the Indiana Pacers was sealed by two last-second free throws by Bennedict Mathurin.
The Pacers’ joy was marred by the loss of Tyrese Haliburton; the point guard left the game in the second quarter with a hamstring injury.
Ja Morant, the Memphis Grizzlies guard who was suspended for 25 games until shortly before the new year, definitely has an operation ahead of him. Morant suffered a subluxation in his right shoulder during training on Saturday, but according to the club, the operation will not take place until after the end of the season.
