LeBron James XXL !
– What a performance for the Los Angeles Lakers winger! Thanks to a LeBron James (56 points) simply enormous, the Angelenos stopped a series of 4 consecutive defeats by dominating the Golden State Warriors (124-116).
And yet, the Dubs, also in the hard on the last meetings, seemed to have control of the game before the money-time. With a good Stephen Curry (30 points), Steve Kerr’s men had taken advantage of the shortcomings of the Lakers (irregularity, defense) to make the difference.
But it was without counting on the King! Supported by Russell Westbrook (20 marks) and Carmelo Anthony (14 points), LeBron James put on a real show. Omnipresent and even skillful at long distance (6/11), he was decisive in the comeback and then the victory of his team.
From now on, it is the Warriors who remain on 4 consecutive losses. With the difficulties of Klay Thompson (7 points at 3/13 on shots) and the absence of Draymond GreenGolden State is seriously marking time…
🔥 LeBron is ON FIRE 🔥

LeBron James shareholder and player of an NBA franchise in Las Vegas?
Memphis takes advantage…
– And precisely, the difficulties of the Warriors make the happiness of the Memphis Grizzlies! With a big win against the Orlando Magic (124-96), the Tennessee franchise took advantage of Golden State’s setback to grab 2nd place in the West behind the Phoenix Suns.
A rather easy match for the Grizzlies, who folded it almost in two quarters. Ja Morant (25 points, 7 assists) and Desmond Bane (24 points) did the job, before resting quietly on the bench.
Opposite, Cole Anthony (19 points) and Franz Wagner (15 points) were just too lonely.
Ja Morant and the @memgrizz won at home on Saturday night, improving their record to 44-21 and taking hold of the number 2 spot in the Western Conference! #GrindCity@JaMorant: 25 PTS, 4 REB, 7 AST pic.twitter.com/03e1BMGvBH

The Heat calm the Sixers!
– For this real shock to the East, the Miami Heat gave a lesson to the Philadelphia Sixers (99-82)! Without James Harden, at rest in back-to-back, the Sixers did not find the solution with a Joel Embiid (22 points at 4/15 on shots) totally muzzled by the Florida defense.
Conversely, even without Kyle Lowryabsent for personal reasons, the Heat manages to find flaws. Jimmy Butler (21 points) and Tyler Herro (21 points) were strong, while Gabe Vincent (16 points) and Caleb Martin (14 points) were also valuable.
In the money-time, Miami activated the lock (26-14) to stifle Philadelphia and thus win this game. This is the 11th victory for this team in the last 13 matches!
Brooklyn Nets/Miami Heat: their ambitions and… the reality
Fox, a record… for nothing
– Author of 44 points, De’Aaron Fox signed his career high … but the Sacramento Kings lost to the Dallas Mavericks (113-114). However, the Californians had control of the match against Texans deprived of Luka Doncic.
With a 19 point lead and a Domantas Sabonis in double-double (15 points, 10 rebounds), the Kings seemed on their way to a quiet success. More disaster. After the break, they squandered that gap…
The Mavs, with an excellent Spencer Dinwiddie (36 points), picked up before winning with an award-winning basket of Dorian Finney-Smith 3.3 seconds from the end. Tough for Fox and the Kings.

Wolves and Spurs, opposite dynamics
– Always ambitious in the race for the Playoffs in the West, the Minnesota Timberwolves went on to face the Portland Trail Blazers (135-121). On a series of 4 consecutive victories, the Wolves were able to rest on Karl-Anthony Towns (36 points, 15 rebounds) and D’Angelo Russell (14 points, 15 assists).
Despite the absence ofAnthony Edwards, Minnesota provided the essentials. But we must all the same underline the resistance of the Blazers, in particular ofAnfernee Simons (38 points). But in the end, the Timberwolves knew how to accelerate at the right time.
– Conversely, the San Antonio Spurs are at a standstill! By losing on the field of the Charlotte Hornets (117-123), the Texans chained a 4th defeat in a row. Thanks in particular to Terry Rozier (31 points) and LaMelo Ball (24 points), the Hornets were able to make the difference in a close encounter.
Because in front, Keldon Johnson (33 points) or Dejounte Murray (25 points, 10 rebounds) fought well. But collectively, Charlotte found the resources, especially in money-time, to win.
