OG Anunoby says 32, Ball injured again
British-Nigerian winger of the Toronto Raptors, OG Anunoby, had his biggest game of the season on Wednesday night to put the Miami Heat, yet propelled by three straight wins, to reason (124-110). With 32 points and 10 rebounds, Anunoby pushed the Raptors into the in-goal, especially on a big 21-0 run in the third quarter. The New Orleans Pelicans, for their part, remain on the wave with a third consecutive victory, against the Chicago Bulls (124-110) this time. CJ McCollum was at ease with 23 points and 8 assists, while Trey Murphy III shot a 5 of 6 from behind the arc of very good quality.
With 35 points, including seven award-winning shots, Wolves shooter Anthony Edwards went there cheerfully in Minnesota’s success in Orlando (108-126). Julius Randle (34 pts, 11 rebounds) did not make much fat either and carried the Knicks to victory in Denver (103-106). Off the bench, Bennedict Mathurin (20 pts in 22 minutes) was ultra-precious for the Pacers, victorious in Charlotte (113-125). Hornets who may have lost their star point guard, LaMelo Ball, again for a moment, hit again in the left ankle, after stepping on the foot of a spectator while trying to save a ball.
