Stats & Highlights | The Raptors on a Wire, Damian Lillard wakes up | NBA

Kings love to travel. For the Pelicans, Sacramento won a third game this season, all away. The Blazers took their revenge a few days after the 30-point spanking against the Clippers.

Finally, in the duel between rookies (who are also friends), Scottie Barnes against Jalen Suggs, it is the first, with Toronto, who left with the victory.

Miami – Charlotte
Brooklyn – Indiana
Denver – Dallas
LA Lakers – Cleveland

Toronto – Orlando : 110-109

The Magic was tenacious, but still gave in. At the start of the last quarter, the Floridians are even ahead. But OG Anunoby scored eight points in a 13-0 in three minutes that hurt Orlando a lot.

A gap is made. The rookies will fill it, with award-winning shots from Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner, to come back to a point with thirty seconds to go. OG Anunoby doesn’t kill the match and Jalen Suggs and his gang have a decisive ball with five seconds remaining. Gary Trent Jr. almost manages to steal that possession and Cole Anthony finds himself taking that shot from midfield. It missed.

New Orleans – Sacramento : 109-113

The Kings have mastered their subject in New Orleans. Dominators from the end of the first period, after an 11-0, they continued in the third quarter. Even when Brandon Ingram, with his mid-range shots, threw a 13-2 for the Pelicans. Davion Mitchell, Buddy Hield and their teammates reacted in stride, with an 8-0.

Proof that Sacramento, which thus continues a third success in a row, was well in its match: in the last twenty seconds, the Pelicans multiplied the faults to return to the score. The Kings didn’t waver with a perfect 6/6 on free throws to win.

Portland – LA Clippers : 111-92

Paul George (42 points) had launched the Clippers perfectly, with three award-winning baskets early in the game. The Blazers were already on the ropes after a few minutes, but a 23-6 will put them back in the right direction.

They even took control after the break, with a twenty-point lead, but the Californians came back, still with “PG” in the maneuver.

Jusuf Nurkic and Anfernee Simons then make sure to keep a distance. Damian Lillard (25 points), finally awakened after a difficult start to the season, drives home the point with two 3-point shoots and Portland wins.
