ROME, FEBRUARY 26 – Nikola Jokic achieved yet another triple double on the San Francisco court (32 points, 16 rebounds and 16 assists). It was up to Denver to show the attitude of the champion in front of a Golden State team in progress (7 wins in the last 9 games, before this match) and he did it, in great style (103-119). The Suns facing the Lakers was the most anticipated duel in the NBA at the end of February. Los Angeles, driven by the indestructible LeBron James (39 years old), the game’s top scorer (28 points), was able to count on its starters. The quintet scored 97 points out of 113 total. Same observation for Phoenix. The Suns scored 123 points, including 105 with the five that started the game. Against the Utah Jazz, Victor Wembanyama was unable to avoid the 12th loss in the last 13 games for San Antonio. After his historic performance against the Lakers on Friday (27 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 interceptions, 5 blocks), the French pivot was the author of a slightly more modest match (22 points). Shai Gilgeous-Alexander once again delivered a high-level performance for his Thunder. Oklahoma, away at Houston, took advantage of the hot hand in 3-point shooting of its players (48.6%) and the performance of its leader (36 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists. Chet Holmgren (29 points) and Jalen Williams (22) left little hope for the Rockets (110-123). Against a Philadelphia team still without an injured Joel Embiid, the Bucks won comfortably (119-98). Doc Rivers’ men also led by 25 points in the fourth half. (ANSA).
