The Lakers defeated, Brooklyn managed a short roster

Well, you can not ignore the elephant with the beard in the room. James Harden moved to Brooklyn in one of the most exciting trades there has been, so to speak, ever in the NBA. The problem is that all the players involved in the trade, and there are quite a few, did not play tonight (Wednesday to Thursday) – but that did not bother Kevin Durant either. LeBron and the Lakers continue to open a gap at the top of the West, Yannis Antdukcombo has shown that he is also a great morale, and Luka Doncic … well, he’s just amazing.

Night results:
Oklahoma City (6: 5) – LA Lakers (3:10) 128: 99 LA Clippers (4: 8) – New Orleans (6: 4) 106: 111 Minnesota (8: 3) – Memphis (6 : 5) 118: 107 New York (7: 5) – Brooklyn (6: 7) 116: 109 Detroit (9: 2) – Milwaukee (4: 8) 110: 101 Charlotte (6: 6) – Dallas (4: 7) 6) 104: 93 Sacramento (7: 5) – Portland (4: 7) 132: 126

No words, as it looks at the moment, neither 10 Harden nor 20 Durant on the same team will change the fact that it will be difficult to impossible to take the Lakers to the championship this season. This time it ended in a particularly crushing and easy victory over Oklahoma City, one of the surprises of the season, with an all-time club record set on the way to LA.

This is the first time in its history that it opens a season with an away balance of 0: 7 (while at the same time at home it is currently 3: 3), of course it helps that there is no audience in most halls. That’s enough for the good balance in the league and it came with an impressive and frightening dominance. The visitors won each of the four quarters and only widened the gap overall as the game progressed.

LeBron James led the scenes with 26 points (7 rebounds and 6 assists) in just 27 minutes on the floor, Anthony Davis settled for 18 points, and Montreux Harle enjoyed every moment with 21 particularly light points. In fact, each of the champion’s 12 players who stepped on the floor also scored points, and it seems that if she wanted to, the gap would also have been 40 or 50 points.

Durant, Harden and Irving on the same team sound like the beginning of a hilarious joke – but this is the new reality that Nets fans have to deal with. Meanwhile, in the shadow of this crazy trade, Brooklyn had to go up to a meeting with the Knicks in a particularly lacking roster, with Kyrie still … somewhere.

It did not really bother Durant and he did not take the game on himself. KD finished with 26 points and was responsible for the run in the second quarter (20:35) that opened a gap that the Knicks simply failed to close. Apart from him, six other players scored in double digits, including an impressive double-double of 15 points and 14 rebounds by Bruce Brown.

Julius Randall continued his excellent personal season and provided 30 points and 7 rebounds to the host, RJ Barrett contributed 20 points of his own, but Brooklyn’s victory for a moment did not stand the test.

It was supposed to be a lot easier when New Orleans lined up for this game without three of its four stars – Zion Williamson, Eric Baldesso and Lonzo Ball. Together with equal season 46.1 points and 15.6 rebounds per game. Zion is absent due to fears of infection in Corona.

Nickel Alexander-Walker took charge and led the Pelicans with 37 points and eight rebounds, both of course career highs, and he did it the first time he opened in the top five. The Clippers had Paul George (27 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists) and Kwai Leonard (28 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists) in excellent shape, and when they score it is very difficult to stop LA.

Yannis Endocombo and his friends opened this game in a great way, went up to a 23 point lead, and then more or less went to sleep. Every time Detroit made comeback votes, a few threes from the visitors calmed him down.

The Greek finished with a triple-double of 22 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists and led the team to a third victory this month over the Pistons. The Bucks prove they are simply unstoppable off the arc and when they climbed to their peak advantage as early as the second quarter (29:52) they had more off-arc shots (11) than the host’s field baskets.

Jero Holliday contributed 21 points, and nine of the 10 players on the floor in Milwaukee scored at least one three-point total (19 out of 43 – and in percentage: 44.2 percent).

Good morning to Kritasap Forzingis, how much Doncic missed. The Slovenian welcomed his Latvian friend back to the squad with much joy, but did not really need assistance and provided 34 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists and even a career-high 4 blocks. Forzingis contributed 16 points.

This is the fourth consecutive victory for the Mavericks, which also came thanks to Tim Hardway Jr.’s 18 points. In doing so, Rick Carlisle became the 16th coach in NBA history to reach 800 career victories. Terry Rosier scored 18 points for the loser, who finished with 38 percent from the field, which is the main reason why her winning streak was interrupted (4).

Portland scored 23 threes tonight in the away win over Sacramento, Damien Lillard (40 points) signed for six of them. The superstar has also scored eight points in the last four minutes to lead a comeback in money-time and arrange for his team to win for the fourth time in a row.

Lillard also finished with 13 assists, most of them to CJ McCollum, who added 6 threes of his own and finished with a total of 28 points. Joseph Norkic contributed a double-double of 18 points and 13 rebounds.

The Blazers were already 20 points behind in the middle of the second quarter and minus six at the start of the last quarter. Norkich scored 10 of his points in the crucial 12 minutes, but as mentioned Lillard, with four free throws and two big penetrations, made the difference. D’Aron Fox (29 points) and Buddy the Boy (26 points) excelled for the Kings.
