Dallas – Minnesota

Charlotte – New Orleans : 106-103

Led by eight points after 36 minutes, the Hornets had also lost a lot of balls since the start of the game, so their mission was going to be difficult. But they still managed to reverse the trend.

In the last quarter, Miles Bridges and Mason Plumlee shine to dominate the last moments of the game. Charlotte will go 21-10 in the final nine minutes of the match. It was LaMelo Ball who gave a three-point lead nine seconds from time and the defense prevented CJ McCollum from trying his luck.

Detroit – Portland : 115-119

After hard days, the Blazers finally showed a conquering face. More skilful, they dominate the first half and even push their lead up to 23 points at the start of the third quarter.

In a very choppy match (90 free throws, 27 lost balls), the Detroit players come back, but fail at the worst time. Luka Garza had given his side the lead on the scoreboard five minutes from time, but the Blazers then went 7-2. Cade Cunningham loses two balls in moments (he will lose nine in all) and the Pistons fail.

Houston – Washington : 115-97

The Wizards are struggling to win a game right now and even when they have the controls, they can’t finish. After having a 23-point lead in the first period, they see the Rockets come back in the third quarter.

One man above all: Christian Wood. The interior scores 10 points in a 13-5. Then, at the end of the third and the beginning of the fourth act, the Texans pass a 16-0! Christian Wood chained the award-winning baskets and finished with 39 points and 8 shots at 3-pts. The Wizards sink and bow again.

Oklahoma City – Boston : 123-132

For once, the Celtics did not make the difference in defense, but with their offensive force. Starting the game with a 13-0, the Boston players put the Thunder’s head under water. They accelerate in the second half, with 43 points scored in the third quarter.

Because the men of Ime Udoka could not contain Tre Mann, 35 points, nor Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, 31 units. But with a Jayson Tatum at 36 points, plus 25 points from Jaylen Brown, the C’s are doing well, for a fourth victory in a row.
