The Celtics once again ensured their supremacy by outclassing Detroit last night while at the same time, Wembanyama
The Boston Celtics, winners of the Pistons 129 to 102 in Detroit, signed their eighth consecutive success Friday in the NBA, and prance at the top of the Eastern Conference, while in the West, the Oklahoma City Thunder regained leadership after his success in Toronto 123 to 103, and the Spurs lost again despite a Wembanyama of great evenings.
. The sovereign Celtics. Led by Jaylen Brown (33 points), the Celtics, even without injured Jayson Tatum, Al Horford and Jrue Holiday, crushed Detroit 129 to 102. After this eighth victory in a row, they dominate the Eastern Conference more than ever . Against the Pistons, Boston had a slight delay in starting, narrowly losing the first quarter, before putting their foot on the accelerator. In defense of the Pistons, last in the Conference, they were missing five injured players.
. The Thunder solid in the post. The Oklahoma City Thunder regained the lead in the Western Conference from the Denver Nuggets thanks to their clear victory over the Raptors 123 to 103 in Toronto. Back for an evening at home, Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the game’s top scorer with 23 points. He also delivered eight assists and grabbed seven rebounds.
. D’Angelo Russell, Lakers trigger. With four new award-winning baskets made during the LA Lakers’ victory against Philadelphia (101-94), point guard D’Angelo Russell became the Lakers’ best three-point scorer during the same season: with 187 shots with three points made — series in progress — he surpasses Nick Van Exel, who scored 183 during the 1994-95 season.
Spurs lose despite great Wembanyama
. A Wembanyama of great evenings. Despite the short, but new defeat of the Spurs, beaten by the Memphis Grizzlies 99 to 97 because of a basket from Jaren Jackson Jr with one second remaining, Victor Wembanyama once again delighted the San Antonio public. The phenomenal French interior, more favorite than ever in the race for the title of Rookie (best beginner) of the year in the NBA, scored 31 points, took 16 rebounds, delivered five assists, made two interceptions and three blocks.
. The Pelicans crush Miami. The Pelicans cooled the enthusiasm of the Miami Heat, whom they crushed 111 to 88, the day after their defeat at the other Florida franchise, Orlando. CJ McCollum stole the show from the discreet Zion Williamson by scoring 30 points for the New Orleanians, who moved up to fourth place in the Western Conference.
