Broooklyn-Memphis 127-115

—

Back on the court after the suspension Kyrie Irving and the Nets overcome the rest of the Grizzlies without major problems. Memphis has to do without three fundamental pawns, Morant, Bane and Jackson Jr. and can’t keep up with KD and his teammates. Irving, applauded openly by the Barclays Center audience, takes a while to fuel up and eventually closes with 14 points, the Nets change gear in the second half and with a 39-point third quarter put Memphis with their backs to the wall. Ben Simmons, who starts in the quintet due to the unavailability of Claxton, produces his best performance in the Nets jersey, aggressively attacks the basket by sending comforted messages to the Brooklyn technical staff. In the end, the Australian scored 22 points, eight rebounds and five assists. 26 points, however, for a very solid Kevin Durant.

Brooklyn: Durant 26 (9/13, 0/3, 8/8 tl), Simmons 22, Watanabe 16. Rebounds: Simmons 8. Assists: O’Neale 8. Memphis: Brooks 31 (10/19, 3/11, 2/4 tl), Konchar 16, Adams 15. Rimbalzi: Adams 10. Assist: Konchar 7.

The first away success of the season for the defending champions arrives, incredibly, only on 20 November. After eight consecutive defeats away from San Francisco, the Warriors move to Houston thanks to the cinematic performance of the rediscovered Klay Thompson, who scores 41 points, shooting with a surreal 10/13 from long range. The other Splash Brother, Steph Curry, doesn’t disappoint either, finishing with 33 points and 15 assists.

Houston: Porter Jr. 30 (8/5, 5/11, 5/6 p.m.), Smith Jr . 22, Eason 19. Rebounds: Eason 8. Assists: Porter Jr . 6. Golden State:Thompson 41 (4/10, 10/13, 3/4 tl), Curry 33, Wiggins 22. Rimbalzi: Looney, Curry 7. Assist: Curry 15.

dallas-denver 97-98

—

Wasted opportunity for the Mavericks who let themselves be overcome by the Nuggets without their leader Jokic, the second best scorer of the team Murray and Gordon. Hyland takes care of making the big voice for the visiting team, decisive with his 29 points from the bench. An referee error (Doncic with one foot off the pitch revealed only by the replay) forces the two teams to replay the last two seconds of the first half upon returning from the locker room after the interval, two seconds which are enough for Cancar to find an incredible half court.

Dallas: Green 23 (2/2, 6/7, 1/2 tl), Doncic 22, Bertans 15. Rimbalzi: Doncic 9. Assists: Doncic, Dinwiddie 8. Denver: Hyland 29 (7/13, 3/8, 6/6 tl), Porter Jr. 14, Brown 12. Rimbalzi: Jordan 17. Assist: Hyland 6.

cleveland-miami 113-87

No problem for the Cavaliers against the reworked Heat, without Butler and Herro. Cleveland takes control by posting a 21-2 run in the second quarter, then holds the reins of the match, leaving only the crumbs to the guests. Above all, an excellent Garland shines: 25 points and seven assists.

Cleveland: Garland 25 (3/5, 4/7, 7/7 tl), Osman 20, Mobley 15. Rimbalzi: Osman 12. Assist: Garland 7. Miami: Adebayo 21 (7/14, 7/7 tl), Martin 17, Dedmon 10. Rebates: Adebayo 6. Assists: Jovic

phoenix-new york 116-95

The Suns accelerate in the third quarter and sweep away the resistance of the Knicks going to win easily. Always in the pits Chris Paul but his replacement, Cameron Payne, is appreciated in directing and in the end he finished with 21 points and nine assists. For Brunson 27 points. On the other hand, Randle struggles a lot in attack.

Phoenix: Payne 21 (5/9, 2/5, 5/5 tl), Booker 20, Lee 15. Rimbalzi: Ayton 11. Assist: Payne 9.New York: Brunson 27 (9/17, 2/4, 3/4 tl), Barrett 12, Grimes 10. Rimbalzi: Randle 6. Assist: Grimes 8.

sacramento-detroit 137-129

—

The very hot Kings continue their march forward, surpass the Pistons and thus conquer the sixth consecutive success. Usual solid performance by Fox (33 points and seven assists), Barnes also did very well: 27 points with 8/11 shooting. Much booed, however, the little regret ex Marvin Bagley III.

Sacramento: Fox 33 (9/14, 2/4, 9/9 tl), Barnes 27, Huerter 24. Rimbalzi: Sabonis 13. Assists: Fox, Sabonis 7. Detroit: Ivey 24 (4/10, 4/4, 4/6 tl), Bogdanovic 21, Burks 16. Rimbalzi: Duren 8. Assist: Hayes 6.

lakers-san antonio 123-92

—

Third consecutive victory for the Lakers (all three successes come with LeBron James in the pits with a muscle problem) who don’t have to work too hard to be right against the Spurs. The protagonist of the evening was a decidedly aggressive Anthony Davis who finished with 30 points and 18 rebounds.

Lakers: Davis 30 (12/17, 0/2, 6/6 tl), Reaves 21, Bryant 15. Rimbalzi: Davis 18. Assist: Westbrook 10. Saint Anthony:Vassell 17 (4/10, 3/4, 0/1 tl), Johnson, Sochan 12. Rimbalzi: Bassey 8. Assist: Bassey 5.

washington-charlotte 106-102

—

Sixth success in the last seven games for the Wizards who rely on the couple Kuzma (28 points)-Beal (26) and knock out the Hornets, without LaMelo Ball. All Washington starters finished in double digits. Very bad Rozier who doesn’t go beyond a disappointing 3/14 shooting.

Washington: Kuzma 28 (6/10, 4/8, 4/5 tl), Beal 26, Kispert 14. Rimbalzi: Avdija 13. Assist: Beal, Kuzma 5. Charlotte: Oubre Jr. 23 (9/13, 1/7, 2/2 tl), Hayward 20, Washington 13. Rimbalzi: Richards 10. Assist: Rozier 5.
