No need to force your talent when the meetings are so quiet. The Suns, like the Clippers and Grizzlies, didn’t have much to worry about this Valentine’s Day night.
The three teams each had an easy game, where the gap was quickly made and we just had to manage. On the other hand, for the Kings (three losses in a row) and the Cavaliers (seven), we will have to think about waking up.
Washington – Boston
Dallas – Portland
Toronto – Minnesota
Charlotte – San Antonio
Detroit – New Orleans
Oklahoma City – Milwaukee
Denver – LA Lakers
Phoenix – Orlando : 109-90
It was a very, very quiet evening for the Suns. They were well helped by an uninspired Magic, who started the game missing twelve of his first thirteen shots… Result: Monty Williams’ players started with a 14-2 which turned into 28-11, then 44-21 .
Devin Booker notably scored 17 points in the first quarter, 8/10 in the shoot. Finally, back from the locker room, Jae Crowder puts on two winning shots in a row and the gap goes up to 25 points. Completely dominated on the rebound and with a sad 6/35 at 3-pts, Orlando gave himself no chance of winning.

Sacramento – Memphis : 110-124
As against the Lakers, the Grizzlies started their meeting perfectly with a good start to the match, especially with a very efficient Dillon Brooks (18 points in 18 minutes in the first half). The difference is, Sacramento failed to come back, so Memphis was able to roll out quietly.
The Grizzlies knocked down the Kings, scoring 68 points in the racket. In great form, Jonas Valanciunas signed another double-double with 25 points and 13 rebounds, and Ja Morant turned with 16 points and 10 assists.

LA Clippers – Cleveland : 128-111
No Kawhi Leonard or Paul George? No worries for the Clippers since the Cavaliers are easy prey at the moment. It was Lou Williams who took the attack in hand, holding and compiling 30 points and 10 assists.
After a first period already dominated overall, the Californians pass an 8-0 to start the second and Cleveland is definitively dropped. Lou Williams and Patrick Beverley connect the baskets and the gap flirts with 30 points. The second half was a long drive for Los Angeles.
