ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Third consecutive victory in the sign of Luka Doncic and LeBron James for the Los Angeles Lakers. The yellow-violet franchise beats i away New Orleans Pelicans with a score of 103-111 thanks to 30 points each from the Slovenian (who adds 10 assists) and the Chosen One (who scores 8 rebounds and 8 assists). The feeling between the two stars is growing, as demonstrated by the affectionate headbutt addressed by LeBron to his teammate after a triple with a very high difficulty coefficient. However, the best Trey Murphy of his career (42 points) was not enough for the Pelicans to avoid their eighth consecutive defeat.
The returning Victor Wembanyama also broke the 30-point barrier (in 21 minutes), but the San Antonio Spurs lose by one (106-105) to Memphis against the Grizzlies who rely on Cam Spencer’s 21 points (like Jaren Jackson, who almost achieved a double double with 9 rebounds).
Thirteenth consecutive defeat for the Indiana Pacers, increasingly last in the East, beaten at home by Cleveland Cavaliers for 116-120. Darius Garland stands out with 29 points (14 in the fourth quarter alone), in addition to 20 from Evan Mobley and 19 each from Jarrett Allen (with 12 rebounds) and Sam Merrill, while Indiana’s 22 from Pascal Siakam are not enough.
They smile too Washington Wizards. Against them Orlando Magic comes the fifth victory (120-112) in the last seven, thanks to 27 points from CJ McCollum and 23 from Alexandre Sarr. Second success in the space of four days for i Minnesota Timberwolves to the detriment of Miami Heat. The margin of points was 10 four days ago and it is 28 now with a 122-94 featuring Anthony Edwards, not at his best physically but capable of scoring 26 points after the 35 scored on January 5th against the Wizards. In Miami, however, Norman Powell’s 21 and the returning Tyler Herro’s 17 are not enough, while Simone Fontecchio in 4 minutes he finds a rebound and misses a triple with the game now underway.
Finally, victory for the Dallas Mavericks contro i Sacramento Kings (98-100). The best for the Texans is the 19 year old Cooper Flagg with 20 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists followed by Anthony Davis’ 19+16.
