Lakers continue against Spurs, Golden State wins against Houston
by Lucas Fontaine (iDalgo)
Without LeBron James, it was once again Anthony Davis who led the Lakers against San Antonio, for the third consecutive success for the Californian franchise. As against the Nets (37 points and 18 rebounds) and Pistons (38 points and 16 rebounds), the interior gave a very bad night to his alter ego, Gorgui Dieng in this case. In the end, 30 points and 18 rebounds for 60% shooting success. From the first quarter, Davis accumulated 18 points to allow the Lakers to lead widely (34-20), thus relieving the fans. The Los Angeles team, 13th in the West and just ahead of their evening rival, won by 31 points (123-92). Crumbly from the beginning of the season, Klay Thompson signed an enormous performance during the away match in Houston: 41 points (season record) including 20 in the first quarter, and a 10/13 3-pointer that must have made his teammate Stephen jealous Curry, author of “only” 33 points. And it took this fiery combination for the Warriors to finally win out this season after eight losses. The Warriors eventually won by seven lengths against the Rockets (120-127).
