ROMA (ITALPRESS) – In the waiting challenge between the first and second in the Eastern Conference of Nba, the Detroit leader, who dominates long and wide, putting a heavy 118-80 in New York. The Pistons win all quarters, also touching +43 during the game and immediately redeem themselves from the surprise defeat of last night against the Washington Wizards. The Knicks, including Jalen Brunson (just 12 points with the 4/20 from the field), instead, see the strip of eight hits in a row.
To take advantage of it is Boston, which beats Miami with a super rimonta and climbs over to New York. Celtics leave badly also because of a disastrous 1/21 from the arc at the beginning of the game and close the first time on 38-59 (-22 the maximum detachment reached). In the film, the 25–7 part of Jaylen Brown (29 points) and Payton Pritchard (24 points) took place, until the 98–96 final, which was the fifth win in a row. The Heat, therefore, does not exploit the 26 points of Andrew Wiggins and the 24 of Norman Powell: Simone Fontecchio, who closes with just two points and 0/5 from the field.
The Milwaukee Bucks, which won three consecutive games for the first time in the season, continues. Thanks to an excellent central part of the game, Rivers’ men stretch over the Indiana Pacers and then control up to the 105-99 final. On the shields Kevin Porter (23-7-8), but to make the difference are also the 21 points of Bobby Portis from the bench.
The Portland Trail Blazers, which crashes the Memphis Grizzlies for 135-115, double-digitd eight players and finding the beauty of 62 points from the bench.
Another defeat, the eleventh in a row, instead, for the Sacramento Kings, which after a great start (also in this case great contribution from the bench, 76 points) are overcome in the second time by the Los Angeles Clippers, which imposes for 111-114 with a great Kawhi Leonard from 31 points (9 rebounds and 7 assists), not perfect from the field (9/19 with the 1/5 from three) but infallible to the free. To complete the picture of the night is the victory of the New Orleans Pelicans for 115-119 in the house of the Minnesota Timberwolves, to which the 35 points (5/9 by three) of Anthony Edwards are not enough.
