ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Los Angeles Lakers victory and 2-0 against the Houston Rockets, on 1-1 the series between Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics and between Portland Trail Blazers and San Antonio Spurs. In the rich menu of the night of play-off Nba is Wembanyama and companions the false step that makes more noise.
Race-2 of the French outclass really lasts very little, just twelve minutes, because of a brain concussion remedied as a result of a fall. Portland exploits the absence of the finalist Mvp and wins 106-103 bringing on 1-1 the first round series. The Spurs, second in the regular season, seem to have the cards in order to bring home the match even without their star, having accumulated a advantage of 14 points at the beginning of the last quarter. But then a sudden crisis presents the account, favored by the great reaction of Scoot Henderson (31 points) and companions.
The worst news of the evening remains the injury of Wembanyama, entered the protocol provided by the League for cases of concussion: to return to play the French will have to observe at least 48 hours of inactivity and recovery, and then reach different reference parameters without manifesting symptoms. In this period he will have to undergo neurological tests and receive final authorization from a team doctor, in consultation with the Nba manager.
Race-3 will play on Friday in Portland and the presence of Wembanyama is therefore in great doubt. A bad fall also affected VJ Edgecombe during the Philadelphia match against Boston for 111-97. The bahamense remained in the field and managed back pain, becoming the first rookie since Tim Duncan (May 1998), to achieve at least 30 points and 10 rebounds in a play-off game.
Too low the percentage from the arc (26%) and too many lost balls (13) of Boston, to which the 36 points of Jaylen Brown and the 19 with 14 bounces and 9 assists of Jayson Tatum were not enough to climb on the 2-0 in the series.
A goal for the Los Angeles Lakers who also win race-2 against the Houston Rockets and make it with a score of 101-94. The best maker is LeBron James, author of 28 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.
