Milwaukee continues, Philadelphia braked – L’Équipe

While the NBA is worried about the consequences of the pandemic on the good performance of the regular season (the game between Dallas and New Orleans has been postponed), seven matches have taken place on the night of Monday to Tuesday.

Milwaukee was moving to Orlando, still deprived of Evan Fournier (back pain) and the Bucks were not worried (121-99) in the wake of their duo Giannis Antetokoumpo (22 pts, 6 rbds, 4 pd) and Khris Middleton (20 pts, 10 rebounds). The franchise of Wisconsin returns to a game of Boston in the East while Philadelphia, the surprise team at the start of the season, has just suffered a third consecutive defeat in Atlanta (94-112). With six players over ten points (26 pts for Trae Young, 12 pts and 11 rebounds for Clint Capela), the Hawks have mastered the Sixers unable to finish their match well currently.

In the other matches of the night, the scoring duel between Bradley Beal and Devin Booker turned to the advantage of the back of Washington (34 pts, 9 pd, 8 rebounds). Authors of a very slow start to the season, the Wizards must deal with the injury of their all-star point guard Russell Westbrook (quadriceps) who should not return until next week.

The other offensive performance of the evening goes to Gordon Hayward, Charlotte’s full-back transferred this summer from Boston who scored 34 points against New York (109-88). He took part in the good start to the season for the Hornets, who moved up the standings in the East (6th), with a good series of four straight wins.

The action of the night goes to the leader of Sacramento De’Aaron Fox (21 pts, 5 rebounds) who slams a decisive dunk on the head of Malcom Brogdon to lock the victory of the Kings against Indiana (127-122).
