To the Lakers the derby with the Clippers, to the Hornets not enough Knueppel: the recap Nba

NEW YORK (UNITED STATES) (ITALPRESS) – The show was not missed in the Los Angeles derby, one of Nba’s night’s highlights. To win were the Lakers for 125-122, at the end of a very fought game in which the Clippers had the opportunity to prolong the dispute to the overtime, but Batum failed to score the triple on the siren. The Lakers served a Luka Doncic in great dust, author of 38 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists, and a 29-point Austin Reaves with four triples on five sets. The Clippers, who won four of the previous five games before tonight, are not enough for the 31 points of Kawhi Leonard, released in the last quarter for an ankle problem.

Staying west, the third line win of the Minnesota Timberwolves, which beat the Dallas Mavericks for 122-111, dragged by the usual Anthony Edwards, who scores 40 points, as well as a 22-point Rudy Gobert with 82% from the field and 17 rebounds.

Passing to the Eastern Conference, however, a very important victory for the Cleveland Cavaliers on the Charlotte Hornets field for 118-113. The hosts don’t need an overflowing Kon Knueppel, which makes 33 points, going seven times from the arch. The Cavs, in fact, respond with the 32 points of Donovan Mitchell and the double from 26 points and 14 rebounds of Jarrett Allen to win the seventh consecutive match, the twelfth in the last thirteen.

External victories also for the Denver Nuggets, that overwhelm 157-103 the Portland Trail Blazers with 32 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists of Nikola Jokic, and for the Miami Heat, that free the Atlanta Hawks with a net 128-97 sending in double digit seven players, in an evening in which does not find glory Simone Fontecchio, that goes down to the field for just three minutes, just time to realize it The Milwaukee Bucks for 139-118 on the New Orleans Pelicans field are also on the way. The Oklahoma City Thunder (105-86 against the Brooklyn Nets), the Memphis Grizzlies (123-114 against Utah Jazz) and the Washington Wizards (131-118 against the Indiana Pacers).
