GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS-DETROIT PISTONS 102-86
The Splash Brothers are back and the victory for Golden State is back too, dragged by the combined 39 points of Klay Thompson (21, best goal scorer with 6/13 shooting) e Steph Curry (18 with 4/8 from the arc), beats Detroit 102-86 in a match closed in the first half. In fact, at the long interval, the Warriors are at 66-38, obtain the maximum advantage of 34 points and relax in the final, allowing the Pistons to make the knockout number 33 a little less bitter. Among Kerr’s men also stand out Wiggins, who scores 19, and an increasingly positive Kuminga: the rookie is the only one from Golden State in double doubles with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Detroit, on the other hand, does not go beyond the 19 of McGruder and the double doubles of Diallo and Stewart, who put on the scoresheet respectively 16 and 14 points with 13 and 10 rebounds. The Warriors remain second to the West with 32-12 records against Phoenix’s 34-9: Detroit, on the other hand, is confirmed penultimate in the Eastern Conference, as well as the second worst team in the entire NBA by record, with only Orlando (8 -37) to have recorded the lowest numbers so far.
NEW YORK KNICKS-MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES 110-112
With a play of Karl-Anthony Towns in the final, Minnesota is guaranteed a 112-110 victory at the Knicks’ home. Second success in a row for the Timberwolves that comes in comeback, given that the guests waste the 10-point advantage in the middle of the race (61-51) in the third quarter, in which New York finds a resounding +15 (40-25). The reversal takes the form of a game from 3 points to 30 seconds from the end of Towns, who closes with 20 points, while those of “Ant-Man” are at the end 21 with 8/17 shooting. In double figures also D’Angelo Russell (17), Nowell (14) and Beasley (10). On the other hand, 27 with 5/10 from Fournier’s arc are not enough. The Frenchman, as well as a Randle at 21 and a rebound and an assist from the triple double and a Kemba Walker who closes with 17, fail to avoid a knockout that slips the Knicks out of the play-in area of the Eastern Conference: 22-23 against 23-22 in Boston.
