LA Lakers – Washington 122: 109, Satoranský played season match against Lakers, but it was not enough for James

The star of the evening was coach Gregg Popovich, who led San Antonio to a 104-102 victory over Utah and, thanks to his 1336th career victory, became the most successful coach in NBA history.

Satoransky ended with emphatic raids on the basket. He started with a nice smash, then reduced to 89:91 in the fourth quarter after a break. But then James took the floor and 14 of his 50 points decided the match.

The 30-year-old Czech national team then alleviated the defeat by at least another six points in the end. In 20 minutes on the field, in addition to 14 points, he also scored 3 rebounds, 4 assists, a profit and a nice block.

But none of the Wizards were able to defend LeBron James, who scored over 50 points for the fifteenth time in his career. He did it for the second time this season, and at the age of thirty-seven he became the oldest player to do so.

So far, the oldest player with more than one 50-point match per season was Bernard King, who was 34 years old in the 1990/91 season. “It was a really incredible or even epic performance from him. When he gets so cool, it’s best to just let him play and hope he can keep his energy up to the end. He’s just unreal,” Lakers coach Frank Vogel praised his mentee.

Don Nelson dominated the coaches for a long time, but his former assistant and friend Popovich recently caught up with him and today broke his record. The 73-year-old coach did it in 26 seasons in San Antonio, his only club. He needed 2030 matches for that. The Spurs also won five titles and won their division thirteen times.

“It’s not my record. It’s our record for everyone who has ever worked in Spurs. It’s a record for the whole city,” Popovich said. “” None of the coaches do their job for records. They do it for a victory like today, “added the experienced coach, who had to defend the tight lead with his charges when the Spurs caught up with Utah’s 15-point lead.

“We just refused to lose today. We wanted to win it for the coach today because he is a great coach and a great person and he deserves this,” said quarterback Dejounte Murray.

Surprisingly, the leader of the Phoenix competition was not enough for Toronto and lost 112: 117 when he failed to stop Gary Trent. He scored 42 points and only two points behind his record. Among other things, he hit eight threes.

On the contrary, Memphis succeeded, who with a 118: 114 victory over New York got ahead of the Golden State in the second place of the Western Conference. The winner was managed by quarterback Ja Morant, who scored 15 of his 37 points in the last quarter.

Orlando is the first team to be sure that it will not advance to the playoffs, but at the same time it is no longer the worst team in the competition to which Houston has been relegated. The Magic helped themselves with a 118: 110 win over Minnesota. Orlando was already losing by 18 points, but thanks to 27 points, the Mo Bamby beer reversed the score and ended the six-game winning streak of Minnesota.
