The NBA season continues. Between yesterday evening and the night just ended, seven regular season games were played and emotions were certainly not lacking. Let’s find out all the results and the best scorers of the day.
Smiles big New Orleans, who defeats Phoenix in overtime (without Devin Booker) with the score of 129-124. For the Pelicans (without Brandon Ingram) there are 35 points from Zion Williamson and 29 from CJ McCollum. At home with the Suns, Ayton’s 28 points and 12 rebounds and Mikel Bridges’ 27 points are not enough. Victory also for the Los Angeles Lakers: the Californian franchise plays an excellent fourth period and detroit bat away for 124-117. The 35 points of LeBron James and the 34 points and 15 rebounds of Anthony Davis are fundamental for the yellow-purples, while the 38 points of Bojan Bogdanovic are useless for the Pistons (of which 25 in the third period).
All pretty easy for NYC, which versus Sacramento (without De’Aaron Fox) takes off in the first half and then manages the lead until the final 112-99. The best for the Knicks are RJ Barrett and Julius Randle, both with 27 points on the scoresheet. Instead, Domantas Sabonis’ 20 points and 12 rebounds and Keegan Murray’s 18 points are irrelevant among the ranks of the Kings. Festive evening for the Italian Paolo Banchero: the blue scores 20 points and 12 assists and helps Orlando to win against Toronto (without OG Anunoby) for 111-99. Franz Wagner’s 23 points are also very important for the Magic, while in the Raptors home the performances of Gary Trent Jr. (24 points) and Fred VanVleet (20) are good, but useless.
Basketball, Serie A: Brindisi conquers Trieste and remains in the playoff area
Joel Embiid gives show with even 53 points and 12 rebounds and forcefully drags Philadelphia to success against Charlotte (131-113). Among the ranks of the 76ers, James Harden’s 19 points and 16 rebounds and Tobias Harris’ 17 points are certainly worth highlighting. On the other hand, the 29 points each of Kelly Oubre Jr. and Terry Rozier are not enough for the Hornets (without Gordon Hayward).
Sensational final between Atlanta and Chicago: The Bulls take the lead in overtime with five-tenths to go on three free throws by DeMar DeRozan, but then they suffer the incredible basket of AJ Griffin on the buzzer and come out defeated 123-122. In addition to Griffin, Bogdan Bogdanovic’s 28 points and Trae Young’s 19 points and 14 assists are also fundamental for the Hawks (without Dejounte Murray). In Chicago, however, DeMar DeRozan’s 34 points and 13 rebounds are not enough. In the last match of the night comes the huge business in Houston, which surpasses Milwaukee for 97-92. Jalen Green’s performance with 30 points on the scoresheet is excellent for the Rockets, while Jrue Holiday’s 25 points are irrelevant for the Bucks.
