Stats & Highlights | The Kings in confidence, the Jazz take 10th place in the West

NBA – Third victory in a row for Sacramento, which sinks Washington. By beating Boston, Utah takes tenth place in the Western Conference.

As Chicago won against Miami, Washington made the bad operation of the evening in the East since the gap was made. Defeated by the Kings, the Wizards are now 1.5 wins behind the Bulls (10th) and their dynamic is not good.

The Celtics also had a complicated evening. Their loss at Utah drops them to third place in the East as the Sixers continue to win.

While tenth place in the West changes hands again. After the Pelicans, the Thunder or the Lakers in recent days, it is now the Jazz that occupies this coveted place.

Washington – Sacramento : 118-132

Kyle Kuzma’s 20 points in the first half may have deceived a time, but the Wizards were too weak in defense to hope to win this game. A figure shows it: the Kings shot 22/37 at 3-pts!

Sacramento will therefore keep control of the match from start to finish, with a still royal Domantas Sabonis, author of 30 points, 10 assists and 9 rebounds. Third victory in a row for the Kings and second loss in a row for Washington, which lost valuable points in the race for the “play-in”.

Utah – Boston : 118-117

After a controlled first half, the Celtics continue in the third quarter with a 16-3 in particular. Jazz is in the ropes, but not sounded yet. With a zone defense, he will come back and with 80 seconds remaining, there is only a four point difference between the two teams.

Lauri Markkanen hits at 3-pts, Talen Horton-Tucker scores a layup while Jayson Tatum is clumsy. The Celtics still have a last chance to win with an attempt by Grant Williams, author of 12 points in the last quarter. But the interior of Boston is pushed back by a block from Walker Kessler.
