HIGHLIGHTS NBA
Bucks 8-0, Lakers ko, i Nets vincono senza Irving
The Bucks remain unbeaten by taking the eighth consecutive victory thanks to the triple double of Antetokounmpo. The defense of the Lakers collapses against Utah (Fontecchio on the field in the last minute of the game), the Nets find the smile again, winning in Washington even without Irving. Tatum wins the duel with DeRozan (46 points), Cleveland wins the seventh success in a row, Doncic signs the eighth consecutive ‘thirty’ by beating Toronto. Jerami Grant beats Phoenix on the siren, Warriors knockout without stars
MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES-MILWAUKEE BUCKS 102-115 | The best start in Bucks history comes with the eighth win in a row signed Antetokounmpo (in triple double) -Holiday (29 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists). I extend Milwaukee to +22 already in the third quarter, then Minnesota’s comeback up to -8 but the final is still all for the guests, who they are close to 45% from three points (17/38) and have 18 points from Portis and 14 from rookie Beauchamp from the bench. Terzo ko in fila per i T’Wolves: i are not enough 24 by Edwards eh 22+11 rebounds by Towns
DETROIT PISTONS-CLEVELAND CAVALIERS 88-112 | Even without Garland and Mitchell, the Cavs extend their streak to 7 by overwhelming the Pistons away, dominating the game from the second quarter onwards. It is the long ones that make the difference: Kevin Love touches the triple double on his way off the bench (21 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists), Jarrett Allen is the best team scorer with 23 points and Evan Mobley scores his career high with 8 blocks. Detroit doesn’t need Cade Cunningham’s 19
INDIANA PACERS-MIAMI HEAT 101-99 | Tyrese Haliburton also touches the triple doublewho finished with 22 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists in Indiana’s hard-fought success on Miami without Jimmy Butler struggling with a hip injury. After the buzzer beater two days ago Tyler Herro again has the chance to win it with 1.3 seconds left, but his triple misses the mark, leaving him at 29 points. For the Pacers there are also 25 points from Buddy Hield and 23 from Bennedict Mathurin
