ROMA (ITALPRESS) – A return that can change the balances of the Eastern Conference. Jayson Tatum returned to the field ten months after the break of the Achilles curtain and for now he was satisfied to change the balances of the match won by the Boston Celtics against the Dallas Mavericks for 120-100. The 28-year-old reported a double of 15 points and 12 rebounds (over 7 assists) in just over 26 minutes, alongside the other star Jaylen Brown, author of 24 points. The 38 points of Nikola Jokic were not enough, the return after forty days of Aaron Gordon and a percentage higher than the shooting from 2 (67% against 62%) instead to the Denver Nuggets to avoid a very heavy defeat at home. At the Ball Arena the New York Knicks imposes for 103-142 thanks to a better given from the arc (47% against 20%), to the almost 20 total rebounds of difference in the total count, as well as the performance of Ogugua Anunoby, protagonist with 34 points, result of an 11/17 from the field. In the West Los Angeles Lakers can thus shorten Denver thanks to the success of the Indiana Pacers for 128-117 without LeBron James. The scene takes the usual Luka Doncic who closes at 44 points scored, with 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 7/14 shooting from the long distance.
Pascal Siakam is the best of the Pacers with 26 points, but not enough against this version of the Gialloviola. Not enough for the other half of Los Angeles, the Clippers, not even the 30 points and 9 rebounds of the great former Kawhi Leonard. The San Antonio Spurs reassembled from -25 in the third quarter and closed on 116-112, relying on Victor Wembanyama (27 points and 10 rebounds) and Julian Champagnie, who realizes five triples out of eight in a 20-point evening and 9 rebounds. The Houston Rockets also win over the Portland Trail Blazers with Alperen Sengun (28 points) and Amen Thompson (26) on the shields. There are 32 points of Devin Booker in the Phoenix Suns victory against the New Orleans Pelicans (118-116). In Charlotte, there is Tyler Herro’s boot (33 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists) on the false step – after six consecutive wins – of the Hornets. The Miami Heats are the fourth hit in a row, enjoying the double double of Bam Adebayo (24 points and 12 rebounds). Out Simone Fontecchio for a muscle problem in the groin.
