NEW YORK (UNITED STATES) (ITALPRESS) – Victories for Philadelphia, Memphis and Portland in the games played on the Italian night in the NBA. In a tight challenge characterized by excellent three-point shooting percentages, the Sixers returned to victory by beating Cleveland (132-129) thanks to Paul George’s 30 points (21 in the second half) and Tyrese Maxey’s 29, while the Cavs (at their second knockout in a row and with an error at the last shot of the possible overtime) were not enough with Donovan Mitchell’s 37 and 33 with 8 triples scored on 8 attempts by Ty Jerome.
It is not easy from the start but then Memphis wins outright (139-126) overcoming New Orleans. To get its fifth success in a row it sends as many as 7 players in double figures and also finds Yves Missi among the protagonists: the rookie performed a spectacular dunk in the opening third quarter.
Away blow for the Blazers (97-102), who took advantage of the many absences among the Hornets and thanks to Anfernee Simons’s 27 points, passed in Charlotte.
