Si will now finish the nba, probably Stephen Curry will be chosen unanimously as MVP of the season. After all, he is playing at the same level as in 2016, when all the votes fell on him to be chosen best of the season. That’s just one of the things the cool guy looks for. Warriors player. The other, of course, is to return his team, at least, to the NBA finals. And you are on the right track.

Because those from San Francisco are, at this point, the best in the League. After easily beating the Trail Blazers, 118-103, they sport a 17-2 that doesn’t even improve those Suns capable of winning 15 games in a row. And in the process of everything, there are the records that he has at his fingertips, such as the one with the most triples in history in which he will dethrone very soon to Ray Allen.

In his ninth show with 32 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 triples, Curry super a Scottie Pippen (18,940) on the list of the best scorers of all time in the NBA. ‘Don Stephen’ will keep climbing the ladder as he plays games, but beating Pippen has a certain flavor of revenge.

Not long ago the former Bulls said that his team would have beaten the best Warriors of the hegemony with some ease from 2014 to 2019. For many Golden State fans, furious at Pippen’s words, Curry’s ‘surprise’ is a little revenge for them as well as the demonstration of the place that Curry, today’s NBA MVP, deserves in history.

Results of the day

  • Hornets 133-115 T’Wolves
  • Knicks 97-118 Suns
  • Magic 88-123 Bulls
  • Paceers 114-97 Raptors
  • Grizzlies 100-132 Hawks
  • Thunder 99-101 Wizards
  • Spurs 96-88 Celtics
  • Nuggets 109-120 Bucks
  • Jazz 97-98 Pelicans
  • Warriors 118-103 Trail Blazers
  • Lakers 137-141 Kings (tres prrrogas)

The Lakers 137-141 Kings It was the most spectacular game of the night. Also the most endless so far this season. Both teams had to decide the winner in the third overtime, and the clash fell on the side of those in Sacramento, in crisis, to leave a deeper one in their rival. The Lakers’ eleventh defeat (10-11) was painful: at home, against a non-Playoff team, after three overtime … and with a DeAron Fox turned into a hero for the Kings.

Fox finished with 34 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, but two of his baskets were the ones that sent the game into the second and third overtime of the clash. His performance was even better than LeBron James, 30 points, 11 assists and 7 rebounds, than that of Anthony Davis, 23 points and that the triple-double of Russell Westbrook, 29 + 11 + 10, another losing TD for him.

The Suns They are still bent on stealing the spotlights from the Warriors, to the Nets, to the Bulls and whatever. After starting with a 1-3 and many doubts they are signing one of the best winning streaks in recent years. They already have 15 with which they achieved at Madison before the Knicks, 97-118, with 32 points from Devin Booker.

Of course, the Arizona team is far from the all-time high of wins in a row set by the Lakers with 33 in 1972, but they are approaching a narrow ground for the majority. They have 15 and only 32 teams before them they achieved 16 or more consecutive wins in one or more seasons. Every win the Suns add from now on brings them closer to history.

In Curry’s almost unanimous season to be MVP, at the moment, there is only one but called Giannis Antetokounmpo, for many the most complete player in the League. The Greek shone again and the Bucks they took the sixth in a row. It seems that the champions have already picked up the pace of the season and left behind a poor and worrying start.

Anteto signed 24 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists in the triumph of his team in Denver, 109-120, demonstrating an astonishing facility to produce numbers that generally mean victories for their teams. That is what an MVP has to do and he knows very well how to perform his role.

In a day with many decisive actions, only the Lakers – Kings had several, Devonte Graham signed the most spectacular. Graham I nailed a triple with a second to go to give the victory to the Pelicans, 97-98 in none other than Utah. But it was not a triple to seal the victory or to break a tie, shots with less pressure, it was a triple winner because New Orleans I lost by two and ended up winning by one point.

By certain that in this game that marked the fifth victory in 21 games for the Pelicans, Willy hernangmez He not only complied but also shone with 13 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in 19 minutes of play. In fact, the Madrid player was the third best player on his team behind Alexander-Walker, 15 points, and Ingram, 21.
