The Los Angeles Clippers around world champion Daniel Theis lose touch with the top NBA trio, the Milwaukee Bucks triumph in the top game. LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers deliver an offensive feast – and win.
The Los Angeles Lakers around superstar LeBron James prevailed in an offensive spectacle against the Indiana Pacers in the NBA. At home, the Lakers won 150:145 (72:68). With a total of 295 points, both teams achieved the third-highest number of points in a game in the North American Basketball League this season. Only in the Pacers’ 157:152 win against the Atlanta Hawks in mid-November last year and in the Utah Jazz’s 154:148 win against the Detroit Pistons in early January of this year did more points fall.
For the Lakers, four players broke the 20-point mark: Anthony Davis (36 points, 16 rebounds), LeBron James (26 points, ten assists), Spencer Dinwiddie (26 points) and Austin Reaves (25 points). The NBA record champions scored 44 points in the third quarter and moved ahead by 19 points. After their third win in a row, the Lakers remain ninth in the Western Conference.
The top game went to the Milwaukee Bucks. The second-best team in the East beat the Oklahoma City Thunder, previously leaders in the West, with 118:93 (48:47). The Bucks dominated the second half 70-46 and were led by superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo with 30 points and 19 rebounds. For the first time since the end of January, the Bucks were able to use their preferred starting lineup again, with returnee Khris Middleton impressing with a triple-double of eleven points, ten rebounds and ten assists.
While the Thunder have to leave the top spot to the Denver Nuggets due to their defeat, but are still just ahead of the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Los Angeles Clippers around the German basketball world champion Daniel Theis are losing touch with the top trio. The Clippers had to admit defeat to the Philadelphia 76ers 107:121 (56:63), a 2:18 run at the start of the fourth quarter was decisive. Theis only made a short nine-minute appearance and remained without any points.
