ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Third consecutive victory in Luka Doncic and LeBron James for Los Angeles Lakers. The Gialloviola franchise beats the New Orleans Pelicans with a score of 103-111 thanks to the 30 points per head of the Slovenian (which adds 10 assists) and the Chosen (which produces 8 rebounds and 8 assists). The feeling between the two stars is growing, as also shows the affectionate head of LeBron to his companion after a triple with the very high difficulty coefficient. Pelicans is not enough for the best Trey Murphy of the career (42 points) to avoid the eighth consecutive defeat.
The 30-point wall (in 21 minutes) also breaks down the indented Victor Wembanyama, but the San Antonio Spurs lose one (106-105) in Memphis against the Grizzlies who rely on the 21 points of Cam Spencer (like Jaren Jackson, which touches the double with 9 rebounds).
Thirteenth consecutive defeat for the Indiana Pacers, more and more in the East, beaten home by the Cleveland Cavaliers for 116-120. Darius Garland with 29 points (14 in the fourth period), as well as 20 Evan Mobley and 19 at the head of Jarrett Allen (with 12 rebounds) and Sam Merrill, while in Indiana the 22 of Pascal Siakam are not enough.
The Washington Wizards also smile. Against the Orlando Magic came the fifth win (120-112) in the last seven, thanks to the 27 points of CJ McCollum and the 23 of Alexandre Sarr. Second success in four days for the Minnesota Timberwolves against the Miami Heat. It was 10 points margin four days ago and is 28 now with a 122-94 starring Anthony Edwards, not at best physically but able to refer 26 points after 35 made on January 5 against the Wizards. In Miami, however, the 21s of Norman Powell and the 17 of the inmate Tyler Herro are not enough, while Simone Fontecchio in 4 minutes finds a bounce and misses a triple race now directed.
Finally, victory for the Dallas Mavericks against the Sacramento Kings (98-100). The best for Texani is 19-year-old Cooper Flagg with 20 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists followed by 19+16 Anthony Davis.
