10 points were deducted from Everton’s score in the Premier League

“NBA”: Thunder takes down the Warriors… and Butler shines in the Heat’s victory

The Oklahoma City Thunder inflicted a fifth loss in a row on the defunct Golden State Warriors (Thursday) in the NBA, with a score of 128-109, in the absence of the latter, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.

Canadian Thunder player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shone, scoring 24 points, and Isiah Joe added 23 after coming off the bench, while 6 Thunder players crossed the ten-point threshold in the match.

On the other hand, Democratic Congolese Jonathan Kuminga was the best scorer for the Warriors with 21 points and 6 rebounds.

The Warriors’ other star, Klay Thompson, had a difficult night, as he only made one successful shot out of 11 attempts, and finished the match with only five points.

Curry missed the match due to injury, while Green’s absence was due to his 5-match suspension following the altercation he had with the Minnesota Timberwolves’ mainstay, Frenchman Rudy Gobert.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr admitted to reporters before the game that Green, who was ejected after grabbing Gobert around the neck and dragging him onto the court, “behaved in a very exaggerated manner.”

Kerr said that he did not mind Green’s reaction to Gobert, who tried to hit his teammate Thompson after the fight that originally started between the latter and Minnesota player, Jayden McDaniels, but he added that “Green exceeded the acceptable limit.”

Kerr added: “He choked him for 6 or 7 seconds.” “It was terrible scenes for the league, for Draymond, and for everyone.”

He continued, “Draymond was wrong, and he knows it. It’s a bad look.” The five matches are due. “We are moving forward.”

The Warriors struggled defensively in Green’s absence, and the young and hungry Thunder team excelled.

Joe had a great game for the Thunder, as he made 7 three-pointers out of 7 attempts on his way to achieving his personal best offensive tally this season.

Josh Guidi also added 19 points, and rookie Chet Holmgren added 13 points and 10 rebounds to achieve his fourth double-double in his career. Thunder also achieved its fifth victory in 6 matches.

Oklahoma led by 15 points in the first quarter, before Golden State narrowed the gap to 9 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, before the Thunder outperformed it 34-24 to decide the match.

Butler, the Heat star, has emerged remarkably (EBA)

In the only other match that took place on Thursday, Jimmy Butler scored 36 points to help the Miami Heat compensate for its slow start and defeat the Brooklyn Nets 122-115, raising his team’s winning streak to 7 in a row.

The Heat, who were missing Tyler Herro in the game, missed 10 of their first 11 attempts, but the Nets were unable to take advantage of the matter, and settled for a 6-point lead in the first quarter.

With the arrival of the halftime break, the Heat took the lead 60-52, before Butler shined by scoring 18 points in the third quarter alone, and Miami expanded the gap to more than 10 points.

“We did whatever it took to win,” Butler said after the match.

He added: “I think we did a good job in the second half in defense. “I was very proud of us for what we did.”

He continued: “I don’t think we also performed well on rebounds in the fourth quarter, but in general we played great basketball.”

Duncan Robinson also stood out from the Heat with 26 points, and Bam Adebayo added 20 points.

Miami advanced to third place in the Eastern Conference standings, and now has 8 wins and 4 defeats.
