Still lacking long-term resident Kawhi Leonard, who will still have it for a long time after the crusader surgery he underwent in the summer, Paul George thought again to load his shoulders against the Miami Heat: 27 points for him with 4 rebounds and 5 assists, in addition to Jackson’s 22 points and Bledsoe’s 21 points; 18 plus 11 rebounds instead for Zubac.
In Miami, forced to do without Butler (sprained ankle) Adebayo’s 30 with 11 rebounds, Lowry’s 25 and Herro’s 23 are not enough. First home defeat of the season for Utah Jazz, who unexpectedly give way to the Indiana Pacers, led by a Brogdon with 30 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. The usual 26-point Mitchell and 19-point Gobert with 11 rebounds, this time are of little use to Coach Sneyder’s team.
Extraordinary success in the sprint for the Toronto Raptors, who move to Philadelphia forcing the Sixers to a third consecutive defeat. Decisive the two very heavy ‘bombs’ in the final placed by VanVleet (32 total points with 6 out of 11 from over the arc) and Trent Jr. (20 points). In Philly the 33 put on the scoresheet by Maxey are not enough. These are all the results of the night: Sixers-Raptors 109-115 Jazz-Pacers 100-111 Clippers-Heat 112-109.
