NBA: The Memphis Grizzlies, the ‘anti-Irving’ vaccine

Kyrie Irving will be able to play at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center after New York City has lowered its current mandate against COVID-19 and allow exemptions for athletes and entertainers. In other words, the Brooklyn Nets will be able to count on one of their great stars to fight for the ring in the playoffs. A ‘signing’ that turns to those of Steve Nash in favourites… although at the moment he hasn’t given the expected return.

The point guard, who has won his battle against vaccines, celebrated his freedom with a great game against the Memphis Grizzlies with 43 points and eight assists. A performance that confirms the good moment that the most controversial player is experiencing this season in the NBA. Irving averages 44 points and 62% accuracy in field goals (80% in True Shooting) in their last four games. Big numbers that shake the NBA… except for the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Tennessee franchise has the measure of the Brooklyn superteam and he doesn’t even need his superstar Ja Morant to defeat the New York teamto which they have won all five games they have met this season. A demonstration of the solidity of a squad that perfectly personifies the meaning of the word team.

Desmond Bane and De’Anthony Melton each contributed 23 points for a Grizzlies that destroyed the New Yorkers from 3-point range (19 of 38) to add their fifteenth victory of the season without Morant (15-2) and demonstrate that their candidacy for everything this season is not a flower of a day.

Six wins in a row lead an imposing Phoenix Suns and they enjoyed a huge Deandre Ayton. The Bahamian pvot lives one of his best moments since he was chosen as number 1 in the draft in 2018 and against a rival of substance like Towns he finished with 35 points (15 of 24 in field goals) and 14 rebounds to his credit.

After four games as a starter, Juancho Hernangmez lost his place in his quintet, but he did have a leading role in the Jazz’s 125-97 loss to the Boston Celtics. The Spanish forward played five minutes in which he had no statistical impact.

After three losses in a row, the last against a very poor Orlando Magic throughout the season, the Golden State Warriors took a breather perhaps in a duel in which no one expected it: on their visit to the Miami Heat, leaders of the East, and without Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. Jordan Poole (30 points and 9 rebounds) led this great victory for the Warriors. It is the eleventh game in a row of Poole reaching 20 points, something that in the last decade no player whose last name was Curry or Durant had done.

The Miami Heat experienced one of their worst games of the season, also culminated by one of the images of the course with the near fight between Jimmy Butler y Erik Spoelstra. The Florida team crashed into the Warriors and lost ground in their fight to keep the hegemony in the Eaststaying only a game and a half ahead of the 76ers.

Without LeBron Jamesdue to discomfort in the knees, the Los Angeles Lakers sold their defeat against the Philadelphia 76ers dearly, who took the victory of the Californian city with more skill than brilliance and a Joel Embiid who once again demonstrated why he is a candidate for MVP and who took the opportunity to steal the throne as the league’s top scorer from LeBron after finishing with 30 points and 10 rebounds.

Despite playing without Luka Doncic due to ankle discomfort, the Dallas Mavericks did not suffer too much to prevail in the Texan duel against the Rockets thanks to a Spencer Dinwiddie that ended with 26 points and six assists. A player who grows in the last quarters as evidenced by the fact that he is the fifth best scorer in the NBA in the last 12 minutes since he arrived at the Texas franchise.

The Boston Celtics’ fifth straight win came by blowout as the Utah Jazz trailed by 30 points in the second quarter to a runaway hometown team that ended up making 59.5% of their shots and 52.8% of their 3-pointers ( 19 of 36). Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, with 26 points apiece, led the Celtics in which Al Horford added 9 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks in 31 minutes.
