On the night of Monday to Tuesday, six NBA games took place on American floors. Portland moved to Detroit, the 76ers to Indianapolis while the Sacramento Kings received the New Orleans Pelicans.
Embiid and Lillard impress
Joel Embiid, who could participate in the World Cup with the France team, and his Philadelphia team traveled to the Bankers Life Fieldhouse floor to face the Indiana Pacers. After a tough fight, they won 147-143. It took until the final quarter to see a difference. At the end of each quarter, the gap was never greater than one point. In the last twelve minutes, the 76ers managed to win. They can thank Joel Embiid who scored no less than 42 points, to which he added five rebounds and three assists. James Harden scored 14 points, made nine rebounds and delivered no less than 20 assists. In the standings, Philadelphia is third in the Eastern Conference, while the Pacers are 12th and are moving away from the play-off zone.
In a slightly less crazy and prolific match, Damian Lillard still floated. With the Portland Blazers, he traveled to Detroit to face the Pistons without Killian Hayes. They won 110-104 thanks to very successful first and third quarters. Damian Lillard managed a new high-flying performance with no less than 31 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, thus achieving a triple double. This victory gives hope to his team in the quest for qualification even if it is not yet in the qualifying places. The Pistons remain last in the Eastern Conference.
