The results of the night in the NBA
Pacers @ Hornets : 114-112
Cavs @ Wolves : 122-131
Mavs @ Jazz : 114-116
– Not trivial: the match between the Bulls and the Heat was postponed while the public was already in the room. A condensation problem linked to humidity and ice present under the floor for Blackhawks hockey matches could not be resolved. Tyler Herro tried to entertain, but everyone had to go home after an hour and a half…

– It’s done ! Rick Carlisle has coached 1,000 NBA victories. It took a month for the Pacers to win a game back. After 13 defeats, Indiana won (114-112) in Charlotte. A success which owes a lot to Pascal Sakak (30 pts, 14 rebounds), author of the winning basket 11 seconds from the end and faithful soldier in the storm of this season of forced tanking. The Hornets didn’t even have a last ball, since TJ McConnell stole it on their throw-in.
CRAZY SEQUENCE FROM THE PACERS —
Pascal Siakam clutch basket & then the steal from T. J. McConnell. 🔥🔥🔥

Charlotte had chosen to bring LaMelo Ball off the bench to manage his minutes limitation and be able to play him late in the game. Despite the 33 points from their leader, Moussa Diabaté (10 pts, 5 rebounds), Tidjane Salaün (4 pts, 2 rebounds, 1 ast) and their teammates could not avoid defeat.
Edwards in the 10,000 club
– Anthony Edwards became the third youngest player in NBA history to reach 10,000 career points. The Timberwolves star, who scored 25 points in the victory against Cleveland (131-122) last night, is only ahead of LeBron James and Kevin Durant. The man of the match for Minnesota is however named Julius Randle (28 pts, 11 rebounds, 8 asts), author of a complete game and a big 3rd quarter to widen the gap with the Cavs unable to slow down the skill of their hosts (57% overall, 53% at 3 pts). Rudy Gobert compiled 11 points and 13 rebounds at 5/5.
On the sidelines of the meeting, a tribute was paid to Renee Nicole Good, the Minneapolis woman killed by an ICE officer, the American immigration service in the eye of the storm.
– The Jazz returned to victory after 5 defeats in a row, dominating Dallas (116-114). Utah can thank Lauri Markkanen (33 pts), who scored three consecutive baskets on the cusp of money time to put Utah in the lead. Keyonte George finished the job with a superb move.
ICE IN HIS VEINS.

On a drive from the Finn two minutes from the end, Anthony Davis injured his hand and left the floor for good… Perhaps the last appearance of “AD” in a Mavs jersey?
Cooper Flagg finished with 26 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists.
