The results of the night in the NBA
Wolves @ Knicks : 112-110
Pistons @ Warriors : 86-102
Coming out of Martin Luther King’s Day, the NBA had only two games scheduled tonight.
– Karl-Anthony Towns knew how to control his emotions to win the Wolves at Madison Square Garden, the room where his mother preferred to come to see him play. The Minnesota star was decisive by converting a 3-pointer with 29 seconds left in the game against the Knicks.

In this part that Wolves felt slip through their fingers in the 3rd quarter, the 20 points of KAT combined with the efforts ofAnthony Edwards (21 pts) et D’Angelo Russell (17 pts) allowed them to make a success of the end of match which it was necessary, in particular in defense.
At the Knicks, Evan Fournier (27 pts), Julius Randle (21 pts, 9 pds, 9 rebounds) and Kemba Walker (19 pts), absent for 9 matches, did their best.
Wolves have a balance sheet and remain on 6 wins in their last 8 matches.
– There was no real suspense before this Golden State – Detroit, but we could at least see Klay Thompson continue his return to his best form. With 21 points in 22 minutes, but also a buzz beater just before halftime, Klay showed great things.

The Warriors already had 27 points at the break and did not have to sweat too much to win. Incumbent, Jonathan Kuminga finished in double-double (12 pts, 10 rebounds).
Killian Hayes only played 9 minutes before leaving his partners, hit in the hip. After the cancellation of his trade a few days ago, Rodney McGruder told himself that he was going to prove his worth by slamming 19 points off the bench, the best mark for the Pistons.
