We should not miss the last minutes, tonight in the NBA. And more precisely the last seconds. Author of a mammoth game once again (40 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists), Giannis Antetokounmpo thus allowed Milwaukee, badly embarked in Wisconsin against the Hornets who had a lead of 18 points, to snatch the victory against Charlotte (127-125) and thus align an eighth success in a row (the outgoing champions have not lost since November 15, in Atlanta). Propelled on the podium in the East by this 14th victory of the season (14v-8d), tied with Washington, executioner of the Wolves (115-107), Wednesday night at home, the Bucks relied on the inevitable “Greek Freak”, author of the basket of the wins two seconds from the end, to continue their series, this time at the expense of Charlotte of a LaMelo Ball that nothing seemed to be able to stop (36 points, 9 assists) Wednesday in Milwaukee.

Also unbearable suspense between Boston and Philadelphia in Massachusetts, where this time, the light did not come from an impossible shoot with the siren, but from a masterful counter, signed Robert Williams on a final attempt by Georges Niang while the Celtics had a very small point in advance only (88-87). Thanks to this high-class defensive action, this point was enough for the happiness of Jayson Tatum (26 points, 16 rebounds, personal best) and his teammates, who at the same time confirmed their success at the start of the week in Toronto. Despite the double-double from Joel Embiid (13 points, 18 rebounds), however very clumsy on shooting (3 of 17), the 76ers, for their part, relapse and fall back to balance (11v-11d). Falling against New York after remaining seven games without losing, Atlanta had made the trip to Indiana with in mind to restart the machine. The Hawks made it happen (114-111) and Trae Young (33 points, 10 assists, 8 rebounds) is obviously no stranger.

The All-Star leader of the Georgian franchise could have cost his team dearly against the Pacers of Malcolm Brogdon (27 points, 9 assists), insofar as he dropped a very important ball in the money time. Fortunately for “Ice Trae” and the sixth in the East, without adverse consequences. And if the Hawks can hope to do it again, while Houston, still last in the West nevertheless seems to have recovered (fourth victory in a row for the Rockets and a huge Jae’Sean Tate, 32 points, 10 rebounds , 7 assists and 5 blocks), Wednesday on the floor of OKC (114-110), the Clippers are still no better.

Still deprived of Nicolas Batum and Kawhi Leonard, the Californians, who had also left Paul George at rest, again drank the cup (third consecutive defeat), at Staples Center against Sacramento (124-115) and an unstoppable De’Aaron Fox to the end (24 points). The crisis is brewing on the side of LA
