Miami notched a fourth success in five games, beating Charlotte (114-99) Friday night in the NBA, the North American basketball league.Faced with the Hornets, one of the good surprises of the start of the season, the Heat could count on a full game from Jimmy Butler (32 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists), the work of Bam Adebayo in the racket (26 points, 19 rebounds) and Tyler Herro’s 26 points off the bench. A success that allows Floridians to join New York, Chicago and Washington at the head of the Eastern Conference. Still in the East, Brooklyn has regained a balanced record (3 wins – 3 losses) by winning 105-98 against Indiana. After a complicated start, James Harden found color by planting 29 points to support Kevin Durant (22 points). Like the Nets, the Los Angeles Lakers have also found a balance sheet (3 v. – 3 d.) By dismissing Cleveland (113-101). Back after a little ankle discomfort, LeBron James launched the Californians to victory with 26 points, well supported by Carmelo Anthony off the bench (24 points). At the top of the table in the West, Denver climbs to fourth place after its great success against Dallas (106-75). A position that the Nuggets share with Portland, winner of the Los Angeles Clippers (111-92), Sacramento, who won 109-113 in New Orleans, and Memphis. In the last game of the evening, Toronto won against Orlando (110-109). (Belga)
