We hit offensive heights with the Warriors and Kings, whose teams blithely surpassed the 120-point mark on Friday. The Warriors went hunting Pelicans overnight from Friday to Saturday. And the hunt has been good for the Utah dolphins, at the top of the West conference (2nd), since Steve Kerr’s men shattered a New Orleans team (126-85), always private of Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and who was playing Friday without rookie Herbert Jones. Still, Golden State made its biggest hit of the season, and saw that Jordan Poole perfectly supported Stephen Curry.

Stephen Curry adds 19 points, Gary Payton II did the job too (17 points) and the Warriors bench surpassed that of the Pelicans (57-30). Leading narrowly to the break (54-50), Golden State made the break in the second act, after passing a 22-6 to his opponent, held at 35.6% success by the California defense. Jonas Valanciunas was the big man of the game for New-0rleans (20 points and 15 rebounds).
We also had a great time in Sacramento (7th in the West) which hosted Charlotte (9th in the East). The Kings have won widely (140-110) in a match dedicated to offensive madness during which the Californians broke their three-point shooting record in one game, shooting 22/44 behind the award-winning line, like Buddy Hields (8/17). Richaun Holmes was also the architect of this firework with a huge double double (23 points, 20 rebounds), and De’Aaron Fox also did his part (21 points, 9 assists) to keep the Kings dynamic. (4 wins over the last six matches). In Charlotte, Gordon Hayward scored 25 points, LaMelo Ball 24 (and 13 assists), but the Hornets still concede a fourth loss in five games. Toronto falls after 5 wins We were at the end of the suspense, in Toronto, whose beautiful streak of five straight victories was interrupted by an opportunistic Cleveland team who imposed themselves on the wire (102-101) on the Canadians’ floor. It all happened on the throwing line, where Darius Garland did not shake, 4.8 seconds from time. The Cleveland full-back returned both shots, to give the Cavaliers a third straight win. Garland, who scored 17 of his 21 points in the second half, was aided by Jarrett Allen (16 points, 15 rebounds) and Evan Mobley (18 points). For Toronto, who led by 15 points at the start of the third quarter, OG Anunoby (23 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists) was a pillar of the game, helped by Fred VanVleet (18 points) and Gary Trent Jr (17 ).
For the rest, Portland got rid of Indiana (110-106), with an efficient CJ McCollum (27 points) and thanks to a fatal award-winning shot from Robert Covington with 14.7 seconds to go, bringing his total to 19 points. Portland was able to cope with the less good shot of Damian Lillard (4 points), in delicacy with his shoot, and who finished at 2/13 having missed all his award-winning shots (0/6).
Finally, Orlando lost at home to Spurs (102-89), whose game was well boosted thanks to an amazing Dejounte Murray (20 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals), who weighed in the money time, where he scored six points, delivered three assists, and found both baskets that wiped out Orlando’s comeback, at 87-80.
