BOSTON (UNITED STATES) (ITALPRESS) – Boston does not give up on the Cavs, LeBron James and Anthony Davis do not avoid the Lakers’ new defeat, Magic and Warriors also fall.On Nba night, the spotlight is on TD Garden, where the Celtics score their 10th win in 11 games and stay on Cleveland’s heels in the fight for the top spot in the East: 111-105 over Milwaukee in the sign of Jayson Tatum (34 points and 10 rebounds) and Jaylen Brown (25 points), with the Bucks sinking under triples (17) by the defending champions despite Lillard’s 31 points and Antetokounmpo’s 30 on his 30th birthday, and Middleton’s season debut (11 points and 5 assists) after ankle surgery. Third strength of the Eastern Conference remains Orlando, which, however, succumbs 102-94 against Philadelphia: 21 points and 9 assists by George among the Sixers, who continue to show signs of recovery (third win in 4 games) after a nightmarish start to the season. Atlanta makes its way back, extending its positive series to six games, folding 134-132 in overtime against the Lakers: a triple by Trae Young (31 points) with 7″4 to go to the last buzzer was decisive. In the yellowviola James scores 39 points, 38 those of Davis, but it comes the seventh stop in nine games. Another team on the rise is Minnesota, which routs the Chase Center (107-90) with 30 points and 9 assists from Anthony Edwards and nails its fourth straight win. For the Warriors, the return of Steph Curry (23 points) after missing the challenge with Houston was not enough. With Wembanyama still out with a back problem, San Antonio cashes in on its second knockout in a row, this time at the hands of Sacramento (140-113, 23 points for DeRozan, 22 points and 16 rebounds for Sabonis, 22 points apiece also for Fox and Monk) while Utah breaks its five-match losing streak by overcoming Portland 141-99.
