ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Historic evening for LeBron James, protagonist in the victory of his Los Angeles Lakers on the Dallas Mavericks for 124-104 in the regular season Nba. In the last Italian night of matches before the All Star Game break, “King James” puts the signature on the match with 28 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds becoming, at 41 years and 44 days, the oldest ever to record a double triple. After Karl Malone, who with the Lakers had succeeded in November 2003, when he was 40 years and 127 days.
He then celebrates Los Angeles, which returns to win after the two defeats made against Thunder and Spurs. Even absent Luka Doncic, out for the fourth race in a row and now in doubt for the All Star Game, where instead there will be (but from reserve), LeBron, who will retouch another record thanks to the 22nd call in a row. In the Mavericks absent Flagg for a left foot problem.
The Oklahoma City Thunder falls, firmly leader of the Western Conference, defeated for 110-93 by the Milwaukee Bucks without Giannis Antetokounmpo, who will also jump the All Star Game. Several missing also for OKC, which should do without Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Isaiah Hartenstein. For the Double Bucks of Ousmane Dieng with 19 points and 11 rebounds. In the Thunder Absolute debut in Nba for the 2005 class Nikola Topic, chosen for the 2024 Draft but forced to jump all his first season for a knee injury. Last fall, on the other hand, the 20-year-old Serbian was diagnosed with testicles cancer, which needed surgery and chemotherapy. Topic, at his first appearance with the Thunder, was welcomed with an ovation by the public.
In the third night match, the Portland Trail Blazers win over Utah Jazz for 135-119 thanks to the 30 points of Jrue Holiday. The Nba returns to the field on 19 February after the All Star Weekend, which will culminate in Sunday 15 meetings.
