Some good streaks wrapped up on Wednesday night. Already that of the Kings, who lost against the Hawks, after seven consecutive victories. With 35 points, Trae Young celebrated against a tired and defenseless team. Indiana also lost to Minnesota, while the Pacers went on a five-game hitting streak. Wolves made the difference early in the game and then in the third quarter. Rudy Gobert was good (21 points and 16 rebounds) and Minnesota is now on a five-game winning streak.
The Heat’s four-game losing streak is finally over. Kyle Lowry (24 points in the first half) and Tyler Herro, decisive in the last act, led Miami to an important victory against Washington. The Sixers, still without their stars, didn’t follow up by losing to Charlotte, with a decisive Terry Rozier in the last quarter. The Nets, take advantage of a very small Toronto team to rebound.
The irregularity of Milwaukee in recent days continues, with a defeat against the Bulls. DeMar DeRozan scores 36 points, such as Giannis Antetokounmpo, but the latter has accumulated waste. The Celtics thus make the gap at the top of the Eastern Conference by dominating Dallas. Jayson Tatum (37 points) and Boston got the better of Luka Doncic, author of 42 points. Last team on the podium in the East, Cleveland, which continues its series with the fourth consecutive success. The Donovan Mitchell – Darius Garland – Jarrett Allen trio attacks 82 points on the Blazers who skate with four losses in a row.
On the Western Conference side, the Nuggets go into overtime to dominate the Thunder. Nikola Jokic (39 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists) came close to the triple double when Bruce Brown (17 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists) made it. The Pelicans and Zion Williamson (32 drives) had a quiet night against the Spurs as the Jazz lost to Killian Hayes’ Pistons (2 points). Second victory immediately for Detroit. Finally, the Warriors recover from the slap against the Pelicans, beating Nicolas Batum’s Clippers, who do not score.
