Basketball – Capela’s Hawks no longer invincible

Clint Capela’s Achilles tendon seems to leave him alone. After missing the first two matches of the regular season, the Genevan has just chained two games in 48 hours. Again in the base five Wednesday night against Brooklyn, the Switzerland international totaled 7 points and 12 rebounds in 20 minutes (Editor’s note: these are monitored) and showed a presence at all times, especially in defense and rebound.

In a meeting that was played out on details, and although the Hawks won the rebound battle (54 to 40), this was not enough to overthrow the Nets, first worn by Kevin Durant (33 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists) then by Kyrie Irving (25 units and 6 assists), untenable in the “money-time”. After three successes, the Hawks leave the “title” of the last unbeaten team in the League to Orlando Magic (4-0).

Among the other meetings of the night, we note that LeBron James celebrated his 36th birthday with a success against the San Antonio Spurs (121-107) of a Becky Hammon promoted to coach – a first for a woman in the NBA – after the expulsion of Gregg Popovich. In the wake of “LBJ” (26 points), the collective LA Lakers shone, with six players more than ten units. Miami, Charlotte, Boston and the Clippers also enjoyed victory.
