In addition to Harden (17 points), stars Paul George (10 points), Kawhi Leonard (18 points) and Russell Westbrook (17 points) were also in the starting line-up for the visitors. Julius Randle (27 pts) and RJ Barrett (26 pts) led the home team to victory at Madison Square Garden. The Clippers are only seventh in the West, the Knicks eighth in the East.
Boston is no longer undefeated. It lost for the first time on Monday, 114-109 after an overtime at Minnesota. All teams in the NBA have lost at least once this season. Anthony Edwards was important for the Timberwolves with 38 points. He scored six points in a row in extra time. For Boston, Jayson Tatum’s 32 points were not enough. Minnesota is fourth in the west. Boston remains in the lead in the East, but saw Philadelphia come alongside.
The Sixers picked up their fifth win in a row. The score was 146-128 against red lantern Washington, partly thanks to 48 points from star Joel Embiid. At champion Denver, Nikola Jokic was once again good for a triple-double, his 108th in the NBA. The Nuggets, leading in the West, defeated New Orleans 134-116. Jokic recorded 35 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists.
Luka Doncic scored 12 of his 29 points in the final quarter to contribute to Dallas’ 102-117 victory at Orlando. The Mavericks are second in the West.
Still in the West, the San Antonio Spurs lost badly to Indiana. The Pacers recorded a dominant 152-111 victory. Victor Wembanyama had 13 points and 10 rebounds, but also saw one of his shots blocked by Isaiah Jackson. The 2m26 tall Frenchman has not experienced that often…
The LA Lakers lost to Toronto 108-107. LeBron James made a great block along the way and presented Cam Reddish with the game winner, but he missed his three-pointers.
The 2025 All-Star Game will take place in San Francisco
The NBA All-Star Game, which brings together the league’s best players for a gala match, will take place in San Francisco on February 16, 2025, at the Golden State Warriors’ stadium. The NBA announced this on Monday evening.
This season, the 73rd edition of the All-Star Game will take place on February 18, 2024 in Indianapolis. The match will once again be a meeting of the best players from the Eastern Conference versus the best players from the Western Conference. After several years of experimenting with a mix, in an attempt to generate more interest in the match, the team returns to the original format. The party is often criticized by observers for a lack of commitment among the participating players, especially on defense.
