Few French people on the NBA floors last night, but the French pivots still managed to show themselves. Moussa Diabaté made an impact against the Thunder while Rudy Gobert did not do so badly against Nikola Jokic.
NBA results of the night:
- Cavaliers – Grizzlies : 108-100 (stats)
- Hornets – Thunder : 96-109 (stats)
- Pacers – Raptors : 111-129 (stats)
- Bucks – Lakers : 95-119 (stats)
- Wolves – Nuggets : 112-123 (stats)
Moussa Diabaté
Always a safe bet. Despite the big defeat against the Thunder, the Hornets pivot was effective – in 23 minutes of playing time – with 13 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 interception and 1 block at 6/7 shooting and 1/1 shooting.
Another double-double for Moussa Diabaté (in 23 minutes), this time against the Thunder:
🔹13 points
🔹11 rebounds
🔹4 passes
🔹6/7 shooting
However, the Hornets lost 96-109.

Ousmane Dieng
Once the match was won, Mark Daigneault launched his French strong winger. 14 minutes for 2 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist at 1/3 shooting and 0/1 from distance.
Rudy Gobert
Even if Nikola Jokic finished with a triple-double and Rudy Gobert “only” compiled 4 points and 6 rebounds last night, the Frenchman was not ridiculous. It was because he made a few too many mistakes at the end of the match that his team’s defense collapsed. Before, it contained the triple MVP.
