ROME (ITALPRESS) – Detroit’s sixth consecutive win on Italian night of the NBA regular-season. In front of more than 17,000 spectators at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, the Pistons defeated the hosts Hawks 148-143, thanks first of all to the ‘monstrè proof’ of Cunningham, who scored 38 points, as well as his ‘head coach’ Young. Among the guests, only 5′ of use for 29-year-old Pescara small forward Simone Fontecchio: the Italian player contributed to his team’s cause with 2 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist. Ninth affirmation in the last ten contests for Oklahoma City Thunder, able to violate in Minneapolis the parquet of the Minnesota Timberwolves for 130-123 taking advantage of the scoring streak of Gilgeous-Alexander, author of 37 points. Home success for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who got the better of the Memphis Grizzlies 129-123 thanks to the accuracy of its ‘bombers’: 33 points for Mitchell, 26 for Jerome and 25 for Mobley. Boston and Golden State also take advantage of the friendly court to party with their fans: the Celtics prevail 118-105 over the New York Knicks with 49 total points from the Tatum-Brown pair, while the Warriors dominate the Dallas Mavericks 126-102 with Curry always decisive for the fate of the Californians by virtue of the 30 points stamped. Home victories for both the Indiana Pacers, who routed the Los Angeles Lakers 129-111 (the 31 points strung by Harden were useless for the host franchise), and the Milwaukee Bucks, who knocked off the Miami Heat 120-113 despite 40 points, for the Florida quintet, from an immarcable Herro.
