The Warriors signed a small feat by winning for the second consecutive time, this time once morest the Mavericks (127/125) by a Luka Doncic (30 points / 17 assists) excellent for his return. The start of the match was marked by a clear desire on the part of both teams not to defend. Doncic distributes the caviar for his teammates, in particular towards a Jaden Hardy (27 points) particularly solid. The Warriors accelerate in the second quarter, taking advantage of the energy of Jonathan Kuminga (22 points) off the bench. Kevon Looney (12 points/12 rebounds) is impacting below the circle. The Mavs cling thanks to Doncic, much used for his return to the courts. Curry maintains his own before the break (65/63). Upon returning from the locker room, the Warriors inflict a 10/0 on the players of Jason Kidd. They then return to the game, taking advantage of a less good shot from their opponents. Jordan Poole (16 points) performs several class actions and here are the two teams neck and neck. The Warriors regain the advantage thanks to two new actions signed Poole (111/103). Under the impetus of Jaden Hardy, the Mavs gallise a few minutes later in a boiling atmosphere (111/111). In an intense end to the match, Draymond Green (14 points) is important. The exploits of Hardy and Christian Wood (19 points) have brought back Dallas, the last possessions in spite of a slain Doncic, with in particular a big failure near the circle in the last seconds preventing them from coming back. Kevon Looney will validate a particularly important victory for this Golden State team.
The Lakers do not let themselves get out of the race play-in by winning once morest the Suns (122/111). The Suns get into the game better thanks to a Devin Booker (33 points) that shines. Very quickly, the enthronement of Austin Reeves (25 points / 11 assists) in the five major Los Angeles produced its effects. The back keeps his team afloat by scoring 10 points in the first quarter alone. Gradually, the Lakers take the measure of an opponent who can no longer win. The entry into play of Malik Beasley brings dynamism to the attack of the players of Darwin Ham who prances in the lead at the break (59/52). Back from the locker room, Los Angeles continues to dominate before Devin Booker wakes up. On his own, he brings his own to the score. Too alone precisely because his team sinks as soon as he leaves the field. While they came back to 1 point from their opponents, his exit causes the final fall of his team. Anthony Davis (27 points / 9 assists) begins to dominate the opposing racket for the victory of the Lakers.
The Heat are getting closer to the Knicks in the Eastern Conference following their victory once morest them (127/120). In a match in which neither team wanted to defend, the Heat offense for once knew how to make the difference. During most of the meeting, they relied on their collective guided by Jimmy Butler (35 points / 9 assists). By taking advantage of the physical limitations of Jalen Brunson (25 points) or the lack of involvement of Julius Randle (15 points), they fired three-pointers with great success. In the last quarter, while the Knicks are still in a position to win, the referees’ whistles were clearly once morest the New York players. Tyler Herro (22 points) then shone particularly well to allow his team to win.
One of the expected events of the evening was the return of I Morant on the NBA courts. The playmaker did the job in the victory of his team once morest the Rockets (130/125). For the first time used off the bench by Taylor Jenkins, he accumulated 17 points and 5 assists once morest an eye-catching Texas team, like a Jalen Green author of a performance 32 points. Fortunately, the aggressiveness of Years Jackson Jr (37 points / 10 assists) and his team came following this team. Note the new brilliant performance of the interior, on fire for 5 games.
Another particularly awaited return: that of Karl-Anthony Towns (22 points)… the latter was magnificently illustrated in the victory of his people at the end of the suspense once morest the Hawks (125/124). four seconds from the end of the game, the inside scored his two free throws to validate the victory of his team. The Hawks should have won. They led by 7 points 7 minutes from the end of the game but the activity of Naz Reid (26 points), still valuable off the bench, combines that of Jaden McDaniels (25 points) completely thwarted Atlanta’s pseudo-defense. Trae Young (29 points / 8 assists) is completely erased in the last few minutes. With him in the tough, his team sinks completely. Unable to put the barbels in the final seconds, they bow and risk being forced to go through the play-in to access the playoffs.
