In addition to the Washington Wizards’ game against Milwaukee, there were seven more games tonight (Saturday through Sunday) in the best league in the world.
Brooklyn – Detroit 95: 100
James Harden was passionate with his ninth triple-double of the season, and Brooklyn completed a fourth straight win and again it happened without Kwon Durant, who has yet to return to full fitness. The man and old man scored 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists while Kyrie Irving added 18 points of his own. What decided the match were Harden’s ten consecutive points, which prevented embarrassment in the closing minutes. Jeremy Grant stood out with 22 points in the visiting ranks.
Oklahoma City – New York Knicks 119: 97
The team from the Big Apple went up to a positive 19:20 balance thanks to a 2:18 run in the third quarter, which made all the difference. Julius Randall celebrated with his second triple-double this season, this time with 26 points, 12 assists and 12 rebounds, R.C. Jay Barrett sparkled with 32 points and arranged for his team to win fifth in the last seven games. Al Horford, on the other hand, led the host with 16 points.
Charlotte – Toronto 104: 114
The Hornets, who went up to a positive balance of 18:19, closed the story already in the first quarter when they ran away to 4:25 and from there the Canadians only tried to memorize damages. Rookie Lamello Ball went on his own with 23 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, Terry Roger and Devonta Graham added 17 each. For the visitors, who recorded a fourth straight loss, Kyle Laurie stood out with 19 points.
Denver – Dallas 116: 113
A third quarter of nine threes helped the Mavericks come out with an important win from Denver. Luka Doncic with 21 points and 12 assists overcame Nikola Jukic (26, 9 rebounds and 11 assists), among the European Titans. Although already trailing by 20 points, the host made comeback votes, but that was not enough to prevent a first loss after five consecutive wins. Michael Porter’s 23 points also did not help the loser.
In more games: Phoenix – Indiana 122: 111, Minnesota – Portland 125: 121, Atlanta – Sacramento 106: 121.
