12th win in a row for Cleveland, New Orleans still knocked out

NEW YORK (UNITED STATES) (ITALPRESS) – Cleveland’s magic moment continues in this start of the NBA regular-season. The Cavaliers reach twelve consecutive wins, beating the Chicago Bulls 119-113 on the road: what made the difference for the guests was the ‘hot hand’ of Mitchell, capable of contributing with a personal haul of 36 points (26 by LaVine and 20 by Vucevic among the hosts). Fifth loss in a row, however, for the New Orleans Pelicans, who surrendered in a sprint on the friendly floor 107-105 to the Brooklyn Nets despite Ingram’s 24 points and Missi’s 17 (17 also among locals for Thomas). Home affirmation for the Houston Rockets, who knock off the Washington Wizards 107-92 with 45 total points from the Sengun-Green duo. Also taking advantage of the crowd in their favor were the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs, who beat the Los Angeles Clippers (134-128, 45 points by Gilgeous-Alexander) and Sacramento Kings (116-96, 34 by Wembanyama), respectively.- Photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
