Golden State and the Clippers, who both remained on eight wins in a row, saw their great streak come to an end on Sunday, on the floor of Charlotte and against Chicago. Atlanta, on the other hand, is smiling again after six consecutive defeats by winning against his tormentor of the last play-offs Milwaukee. The Lakers have returned to success at home against San Antonio, even if they are again scared.
End of series for Golden State as for the Clippers. The two teams, who both remained on seven wins in a row, have suffered a stoppage on Sunday, respectively against Charlotte in North Carolina (106-102) and Chicago (100-90) on the floor of the Staples Center. Despite a solid performance from their superstar Stephen Curry (24 points, 10 assists), not in a great night however in his favorite field (7 of 22 on shots, 3 of 13 on three points), and despite the top scorer of the night for the San Francisco franchise Andrew Wiggins, author of 28 points with 62% success on shots, the Warriors suffered the law of the Hornets and a LaMelo Ball who had again placed the cursor very high (21 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists) ten days after missing out against that same Golden State team. Charlotte, 8th in the East, thus continues a third success in a row. The Bulls, for their part, have restarted a series by coming to bite the Clippers and Nicolas Batum (5 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists) on their floor thanks to a unleashed DeMar DeRozan again (35 points). The Canadian was also able to count once again on the very valuable support of Zach LaVine (29 points). And if the Warriors and the Clippers stop, Phoenix and Denver, on the other hand, continue to ride their incredible momentum.
The Lakers scared each other again, Atlanta woke up and avenged
The dolphin Phoenix and Devin Booker (26 points) have thus signed an eighth consecutive victory (115-89) against the Rockets beaten for the eleventh time in a row and still dead last in the West. Easy success also (124-95) for the third of the Denver conference, executioner of a weak team of Portland. MVP Nikola Jokic, passed very close to the triple-double, (29 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists) and his family have not lost for five games. On the Atlanta side, it’s the end of the grimace soup. After six losses, the Hawks are smiling again, this Sunday at home (120-100) at the expense of this Milwaukee team which had precisely removed the Georgians from its path during the last play-offs. Trae Young (42 points, 10 assists, 8 rebounds at 16 of 26 on shots including 8 of 13 at three points), brought hell to the Bucks and a less impressive Giannis Antetokounmpo (26 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds) than usual. Fallen in their ways the day before facing Minnesota, the Lakers were, for their part, scared again on Sunday at home against San Antonio. Worn in particular by a monstrous Anthony Davis at the start of the game (19 points from his 34 of the evening, 15 rebounds, 6 assists), the Californians, still deprived of LeBron James, finally had the last word (114-106) against the Spurs.
