NBA, Brook Lopez and the brawl against the Raptors: the video

Another MVP performance for Nikola Jokic who dominates against Portland (triple-double with 13/14 shooting), gives Denver their 14th consecutive success at home and frustrates the 44 points of a wild Damian Lillard, Jrue Holiday scores 37 points and leads Milwaukee to success against Toronto. Brooklyn without Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant goes knockout in San Antonio (36 points by Keldon Johnson), Joel Embiid with 41 points in the 76ers victory over the Clippers who find Paul George but collect the eighth defeat in the last 10 games

MILWAUKEE BUCKS-TORONTO RAPTORS 130-122 | Fourth straight game without Giannis Antetokounmpo but the back-to-back Bucks (as well as the Raptors) get rid of Toronto thanks to a team performance of 19/39 from the arc (49%). and despite Brook Lopez being ejected in the fourth quarter following a face-off with Gary Trent Jr., whose headband he ripped off. The former Nets player finishes with 19 points, 15 of which arrived in the third quarter from 38-23 which marks the match in favor of the Bucks

Milwaukee also enjoys the best Jrue Holiday yet at the realization level (and not only that) of the year, author of 37 points and leader of a quintet all in double figures: the former Pelicans closes with 16/26 from the field, 5/10 from the arc, six rebounds, seven assists and two recoveries, as well as a plus / minus of +22 in the 35 minutes in which he remains on the parquet. There are also 25 points for Grayson Allen with 8/13 shooting, while Joe Ingles is lethal with his 15 points off the bench

Toronto on the other hand, fresh from the OT victory at Madison Square Garden, confirms its discontinuity by losing in Milwaukee despite another super individual performance by Fred VanVleet: 39 points on 15/28 from the field, 6/12 from the arc, nine rebounds, seven assists, but -23 plus/minus. Excellent performance also for Gary Trent Jr. (another market object awaiting placement): 28 points with 4/9 from long rangewhile it’s 23 points and nine rebounds for Pascal Siakam
