Lyou Golden State Warriors they faced the Phoenix Suns in the best game the NBA can offer today. On the one hand, the team with the best balance in the league led by an alien named Stephen Curry in a state of grace. On the other, the most fit set of the championship with 16 wins in a row (now 17) and a nucleus that, little by little, is picking up the rhythm of last season in which they were runners-up in the NBA.
A vibrant duel that did not disappoint … except for Stephen Curry. The top MVP candidate of the season to date showed that he is also fallible and that not every night is a party when the Warriors play. The Suns were superb in defense (led by a great Mikal Bridges) until causing 22 losses of the ball for the Warriors and the total disconnection of a Curry who had the worst game of his NBA career.
The Warriors point guard finished the clash with 12 points and had the worst shooting night of his entire career with at least 20 shots attempted. Curry ended up unhinged after scoring only four of his 21 shots from the field (19%) and three of his 14 3-pointers made (21%) in a night to forget. “Despite all the mistakes we have made and the horrible night I had in shooting, it was a close match until the end.” A good consolation for a Martian who can also afford to err.
The Detroit Pistons they have reason to smile. Despite the last two losses to the Lakers and the Trail Blazers (28 points from McCollum in the absence of Lillard), Michigan’s are beginning to see green shoots thanks to the No. 1 draft. Cade Cunningham. After a hesitant start in attack (not in defense) the last number 1 in the draft has found the lost toe and against Oregn’s team he emerged with 26 points (his highest score in the NBA) after scoring 10 of 13 on field goals with a 71% accuracy from the triple.
James Harden He was generating doubts with his game and he was not quite comfortable in Steve Nash’s systems without a figure like Kyrie Irving at his side. However, against the Knicks ‘La Barba’ was reunited with his best game and was the leader of the victory of the Nets, who are already the kings of New York with 102 wins in direct games to 101 for the Knicks. Harden ended Madison’s duel with 34 points (11 of 20 in field goals), 10 rebounds, eight assists and three steals, releasing Durant from all offensive responsibility.
NIGHT RESULTS

Alvin Gentry, Interim technician who has taken the reins of the Sacramento Kings, had to apologize to the fans of his team after the performance of his players against the Lakers. Especially after what happened between the third quarter and the start of the last quarter when the Kings received a set against 40-8, missing 17 of the 18 field goals they attempted in that time. Of course it is to apologize.
