Los Angeles (United States), 9 March 2024 – The headlights of a night NBA for eight games on the calendar they were mainly focused on super challenge scheduled at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles between Lakers hosts ei Milwaukee Bucks. They were the ones who took the stakes the yellow and purple who beat the Wisconsin franchise 123-122. With LeBron James sidelined by tendinopathy in his left ankle and Anthony Davis on half-serve but still the author of 22 points and 13 rebounds, taking the yellow and purple by the hand in a match in which they effectively reigned supreme throughout the 48′ was the balance so they thought about it D’Angelo Russell with 44 points (21 hits in the fourth quarter alone), 9 assists and 8 rebounds, and Spencer Dinwiddie who stopped Damian Lillard at the end, denying him the joy of a possible winning basket, which would have embellished an evening in which the former Trail Blazers (28 points), with the four triples scored, overtook Reggie Miller in the ranking of the best shooters in NBA history, thus rising to fourth place in this special ranking. Vana, always at the Bucks house, too triple double from an always dominant Giannis Antetokounmpo (34 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists), while the Italian Danilo Gallinari took to the pitch for just three minutes in which he failed to leave his mark.
In the West, meanwhile, the run of the increasingly surprising Oklahoma City Thunder continues as they won the match against the Miami Heat 107-100: the key to OKC’s success lies in the third quarter, in which coach Daigneault’s men achieved a 30-16 run which gave them the momentum of the match (60 points scored by OKC in the second half). The Canadian Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was once again the loud voice in OKC, finishing with 37 points, the result of an excellent 13/25 from the field and a surgical 11/11 from the free throw line. In Miami, however, Jimmy Butler’s 20 points and Jaime Jaquez jr’s 25 coming off the bench were not enough. With this success the Thunder have regained the Minnesota Timberwolves at the top, with 44 victories, defeated 113-104 after overtime by the Cleveland Cavaliers. The contribution provided by the pairing of Darius Garland (34 points) and Jarrett Allen (33 points) was decisive on the Cavs front. However, there remains some regret for the T-Wolves, who at the end missed the conclusion of the possible success with Anthony Edwards making a very foul shot (19 points with 7/27 from the field) and for whom the 34 points coming off the bench were not enough by Reid. Everything is easy, however, for the New York Knicks who beat the Orlando Magic 98-74, sending five men in double figures (26 points for top scorer Jalen Brunson), men the Washington Wizards managed to end a negative streak of 16 straight defeats by beating the Charlotte Hornets 112-100 with 28 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds from Kyle Kuzma. Finally, there are also the successes of the Houston Rockets (123-107 against the Portland Trail Blazers) and New Orleans Pelicans (103-95 against the Philadelphia 76ers with Zion Wiliamson scoring 23 points and 12 rebounds).
