Hell was promised to the Celtics against the Heat, author of an excellent start to the season. Thanks to their strength of character, they won 95/78 against one of the best teams in the League. In the first quarter, the Floridians put their usual ingredients to break away from the score. Relying on the altruism of Kyle Lowry and of Jimmy Butler, they are imperial in defense against opposing young stars and in particular a Jayson Tatum (again) next to his pumps. The gap is widening but the playersIme Udoka are still in the game. They build their victory in the second quarter. When Jimmy Butler left the field, the Heat did not find any offensive solutions. Their game is drastic. The Boston replacements are having a blast. They detonate the opposing defense. Despite the return to the game, Miami is dominated in intensity and the gap continues to grow. After a 10/1, they cash a 15/2. Quarter-time result? 33/9 for Boston. The Heat will never be able to recover from such a buttock. Never in success, their game is limited by the very good defense of Boston. While they could have tried to come back in the third quarter, they come out frustrated by losing Kyle Lowry, injured ankle. The few reconciliations may well worried the public, the C’s show solidarity, the image of a second unit ruthless in the face of the awkwardness of Tyler Herro, author of his worst performance of the season.
Donovan Mitchell bless, Jordan Clarkson took care of everything for Hawks-winning Utah (116/98). After three quarters, the two teams surrendered one after the other. Bring young takes his teammates with him facing Rudy Gobert and his. No team manages to widen the gap in the score. The Jazz leads 75/74 by the yardstick of the last quarter. The problem? A match lasts four quarters. At this game, the men of Quin Snyder have been ruthless since the start of the season. By increasing their defensive intensity, their opponents multiply wolf shots and ball losses. Finally awake after a complicated start to the season, Jordan Clarkson multiplies large-scale offensive actions. The best sixth man of last year is regaining his skill after a complicated start to the season (and to the game) to reach the 30 point mark. At his side, Bojan bogdanovic is successful with 23 points while Rudy Gobert lines up another double-double.
Once again the Lakers bowed against the Thunder (104/107), after being behind by 19 points during the game, in an obscure repetition of their first confrontation. After a great start to the match, symbolized by the performance of Russell Westbrook and D’Anthony Davis, the Lakers were little bit delusional, losing their collective binder. Alone Carmelo Anthony takes the head out of the water in the second half against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his. Symbol of this frustrating defeat? Russell Westbrook lost the ball 20 seconds to the end of the game as his team had the opportunity to come back.
The Suns won against the Rockets (123/111) thanks to a good collective performance, marked by a great success on shots. After a complicated first half, the Suns recovered in the third quarter thanks to the energy of JaVale McGee, which proves that its recruitment can relieve exits from the field of DeAndre Ayton. Devin Booker brings the scoring and the Rockets, despite their goodwill, are too clumsy to stem the tide.
The Sixers win thanks to a good last quarter, launched by an excellent Georges Niang off the bench. At his cts, Seth Curry and Tyrese Maxey have done the job to crankcase Cade Cunningham, still in delicacy with his shot and his. For once, Detroit showed itself collectively, remaining in the game against a team limited in its rotations. Unfortunately, the performance of number 1 of the last draft is worrying.
