Miami overtakes Chicago in the throes of a Covid outbreak, Utah passes with personality to Washington as Cleveland dominates Sacramento.

Miami Heat-Chicago Bulls 118-92

—

A match with many absences on both sides in the end rewards Miami (16-11) who starts well, scores 39 points in the first quarter and then keeps the Bulls at a safe distance (17-10), struggling with a covid outbreak that took away seven elements. Miami, devoid of Butler and Adebayo, relies on the conclusions from the perimeter of the best Robinson of the season (26 points), arrives at the rest ahead of 13 points and takes away all hope from the visiting team with a partial 13-3 in the third period. The 33 points of an excellent LaVine are not enough for the highly reworked Bulls.

Miami: Robinson 26 (4/4, 5/9, 3/3 tl), Dedmon 20, Herro 17. Rimbalzi: Dedmon 12. Assist: Lowry 14.

Chicago: LaVine 33 (4/9, 7/11, 4/5 tl), Ball 15, Brown Jr. Vucevic 10. Rimbalzi: Vucevic 8. Assist: Caruso 5.

Washington Wizards-Utah Jazz 98-123

—

The march of the very hot Jazz continues unhindered (19-7). Utah after a first half like this accelerates in the third quarter and leaves only the crumbs to the Wizards (15-12) and then goes on to win easily. The visiting team seals the painted area and dominates under the basket thanks to the excellent impact from the bench by Whiteside (18 points and 14 rebounds in 20 ‘of play) and the production of the usual Gobert: 20 points and 11 rebounds). The Jazz thus conquer their seventh consecutive success.

Washington: Beal 21 (8/13, 1/3, 2/2 tl), Gafford 14, Net 13. Rebounds: Gafford 11. Assist: Beal 5.

Utah: Mitchell 28 (6/11, 4/9, 4/4 tl), Gobert 20, Whiteside 18. Rimbalzi: Whiteside 14. Assist: Conley 8.

Cleveland Cavaliers-Sacramento Kings 117-103

—

A first time in space secures the Cavaliers (16-12) who thus conquer their third consecutive success against the Kings (11-16) without major problems. Cleveland at rest already has 81 points on the scoresheet, and is ahead by 29 points, thanks to a second quarter seasoned by 45 points. The rookie Mobley’s performance is definitely solid once again, with 15 points and 15 rebounds on the scoresheet.

Memphis Grizzlies-Houston Rockets 113-103

—

Second consecutive defeat for the Rockets (8-18) after surprising seven wins in a row. The Grizzlies (16-11), without Jackson Jr. as well as Morant, start with their foot on the accelerator scoring 40 points in the first quarter, then control the reaction of the Rockets, led by the usual Wood (22 points and 11 rebounds) and take home their seventh win in the last eight races.

Memphis:Brooks 25 (5/13, 2/4, 9/10 tl), Bane 19, Anderson 16. Rimbalzi: Adams 9. Assist: Jones 6.

San Antonio Spurs-Denver Nuggets 112-127

—

I think of a Jokic version Mvp to lead the Nuggets (13-13) to success in San Antonio. The Spurs (9-16) are unable to find defensive responses to the overwhelming power of the Serbian who ends up with 35 points, 17 rebounds and eight assists at the end. The impact from the bench by Howard (21 points in 21 ‘) and Campazzo (eight assists) is also very important.

San Antonio:Walker IV 16 (4/5, 1/4, 5/5 tl), Vassell 15, Forbes, Johnson 14. Rimbalzi: Jones 9. Assist: Jones 5.

Denver: Jokic 35 (11/18, 4/6, 1/1 tl), Howard 21, Morris 19. Rimbalzi: Jokic 17. Assist: Campazzo, Jokic 8.

Los Angeles Clippers-Orlando Magic 106-104

—

With George still at the post Jackson will take care of leading the Clippers (15-12) to victory over the Magic (5-22) by signing 25 points and making the decisive basket two seconds from the siren after the triple by an excellent Anthony (23 points ) had evened the score.

Los Angeles Clippers:Jackson 25 (8/13, 3/8), Kennard 23, Mann 16. Rimbalzi: Mann 9. Assist: Bledsoe, Hartenstein, Kennard 5.
