Only five matches on the program but great displays and important results to remember. The great classic of the NBA, the duel between Boston and Los Angeles, turned to the advantage of the Celtics. After two losses, the 2022 finalists needed to win. They snatched victory following overtime, dominating LeBron James (33 points) and Anthony Davis (37). Unhappy for a few meetings, Jayson Tatum has found colors with 44 points.
The other shock of the night was the Warriors’ trip to Milwaukee. The defending champions fell on a bone. Giannis Antetokounmpo (30 points) and his teammates quickly took control, without letting go of them followingwards. The beautiful Pelicans series is over! After seven straight wins, the Western Conference leaders fell to Utah. The return of Lauri Markkanen (19 points and 11 rebounds) helped to resist Zion Williamson (26 units).
For their part, the Sixers had no trouble getting rid of the Kings. The duo Joel Embiid (31 points) – James Harden (21 points and 15 assists) was very good once morest an awkward formation, probably tired too and which remains on three defeats in four games. Philadelphia thus recorded a third consecutive success. Finally, the Rockets have definitely plunged the Suns into crisis. Monty Williams’ troops lose for the fifth time in a row! Admittedly, Devin Booker was not there, but the 2021 finalists showed nothing once morest one of the weakest teams in the league.
