Five days after conceding 150 points in Los Angeles, the Indiana Pacers took revenge on the Lakers this Friday by 109-90, leaving LeBron James’ team with their lowest score of the season and also breaking the streak of five straight wins of Californians in the NBA.
That 150-145 victory last Sunday was the Lakers’ highest score since 1987, so the Pacers were very clear that for tonight’s game in Indiana they had to improve in defense.
The Warriors are coming
The Lakers remain ninth in the West (41-33) but tonight they lost ground to the Golden State Warriors, who are tenth (39-34) and who beat the Charlotte Hornets 97-115.
For their part, the Pacers (42-33, sixth in the East) gave Carlisle the 938th victory of his career, which served to tie him with the legendary Red Auerbach as the twelfth coach with the most victories in the history of the NBA.
They make fun on the video scoreboard
And to enjoy this little revenge… the Pacers pulled the plug in the fourth quarter. When the game had not yet ended but the difference in the score was already irrecoverable, from the screens at Bankers Life Fieldhouse they began to mock the Lakers fans by applying a Snapchat filter that showed them sad and crying in the stands. Let’s hope that the Angelenos have taken it with humor, which is missing and becoming more and more out of use every day.
Wembanyama continues to shine
For his part, Jalen Brunson scored 61 points for the New York Knicks, but Victor Wembanyama responded magnificently with 40 points, 20 rebounds and 7 assists as the San Antonio Spurs took the game in overtime 130-126.
In this Brunson-Wembanyama duel, the point guard was just one point away from equaling Carmelo Anthony’s scoring record for the Big Apple team with 62 points.
Brunson, who did reach the best mark of his NBA career, dazzled with 25 of 47 in field goals (5 of 13 in triples), made the 6 free throws he attempted and also added 4 rebounds, 6 assists and a heist.
The extraterrestrial ‘Wemby’ also had a night to remember as he achieved his individual scoring record in the NBA.
The French phenomenon finished with 13 of 22 in field goals (4 of 9 in triples), 10 of 12 from the line, 20 rebounds (5 of them offensive), 7 assists, 2 steals and a block.
San Antonio chained its third consecutive victory although it had to go to overtime to close out the victory despite leading by 21 points in the second quarter.
