ROME (ITALPRESS) – ‘Revenge’ is not necessarily a dish best eaten cold. Denver knows something about it, which takes in the space of 48 hours a nice revenge on the Oklahoma City court: this time the party is for the Nuggets, who impose themselves 140-127 dragged by the 45 points of an immarcable Jokic, well assisted by Murray, who scored 34; 26 among the hosts by Dort.
Yet another triple-double by Doncic (22 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists) was not enough for the Los Angeles Lakers to get the better of Brooklyn: the Nets won 111-108 despite another great performance by Vincent, top-scorer of the match with 24 points. Home affirmation for the Boston Celtics: the defending champions dominated Utah Jazz 114-108, taking advantage of the scoring streak of the Hauser-Brown duo, capable of contributing to the cause with 59 points overall.
Outside blow instead for the Dallas Mavericks, who violate the San Antonio Spurs’ facility 133-129 although among the locals Barnes scores 29 points against Dinwiddie’s 28, the best among the Texans. The Golden State Warriors overcome on their friendly parquet the Portland Trail Blazers 130-120 but the real news is that the ‘bomber’ of the game is not Curry (24 points) but Israeli Avdija, who scores 34 against Simons’ 32.
New York Knicks in privateer version: the ‘Big Apple’ quintet dominates in the Sacramento Kings’ facility, ruled with an eloquent 133-104 fruit, first and foremost, of Towns’ 26 points and Anunoby’s 24. Other results: Atlanta Hawks-Philadelphia 76ers 132-123; Miami Heat-Charlotte Hornets 102-105; Toronto Raptors-Washington Wizards 119-104; Chicago Bulls-Indiana Pacers 121-103; Houston Rockets-Orlando Magic 97-84; Memphis Grizzlies-Phoenix Suns 120-118.
