Jokic enchants, Miami finds Oladipo, Popovich collects victory number 1335 of his NBA career, a record equaled every time. These are the headlines of the 7-game NBA night, here’s everything that happened in detail.
Denver Nuggets-Golden State Warriors 131-124
—
Jokic continues to respond to Embiid basket on basket. The fight for the MVP remains so uncertain and exciting. The Serbian Joker exhibits his 18th triple double of the season, this time with 32 points, 16 rebounds and 13 assists and his Nuggets (39-26) consolidate their sixth place in the West and win for the 11th time in their last 13 outings. The Dubs (43-22) were without half a team: Curry, Thompson and Wiggins rested by injured Coach Kerr, Iguodala, Payton and Green. Draymond, absent since January 5, is expected to return on March 14 against Washington. For Golden State 30 points of the freshman Moody.
Denver:Jokic 32 (12/17, 8/14 tl), Morris / Jeff Green 18. Rebounds: Jokic 16. Assist: Jokic 13.
Golden State: Poole 32 (3/7, 8/12, 2/2 tl), Moody 30, Thing 16. Rimbalzi: Looney 11. Assist: Chiozza 8.
Miami Heat-Houston Rockets 123-106
—
The perfect scenario for the Heat, first force in the East (44-22): they find Oladipo and Lowry and win comfortably against the Texans. Dipo was missing from April 8 almost a year ago, back from two operations. He plays 15 ‘, scores 11 points. Looking ahead, Coach Spoelstra’s rotations cannot do any harm. Who also recovered Lowry, on the parquet 32 '(0 points) after 4 matches of absence for personal reasons. Herro, probable sixth man of the year, adds 31 points from the bench and for the Rockets, who have the worst record in the league (16-49) there is really no escape.
Miami:Herro 31 (6/9, 6/9, 1/1 t.l.), Butler 21, Adebayo 18. Rimbalzi: Tucker 12. Assist: Lowry 5.
Houston:Goalkeeper 22 (2/4, 5/11, 3/4 tl) Green 20, Cristopher 16. Rebounds: Sengun 8. Assist: Nix 4.
San Antonio Spurs-Los Angeles Lakers 117-110
—
Historical evening for Gregg Popovich, who conquers victory number 1335 in the NBA, drawing the best record of every era of Don Nelson. In his 26th season on the bench, he will have a chance to set a lone record against Toronto on Wednesday night. Meanwhile, he enjoys the success of the Lakers, who were without LeBron, as well as Davis. Eighteen points for Richardson, his first as a starter for the Spurs (25-40). For Los Angeles (28-36) yet another counter-performance of an unfortunate season: 17 points from Westbrook and Anthony are not enough, also because the Lakers commit 15 turnovers against just 19 assists and concede 55% from the field to their opponents.
Saint Anthony: Murray 26 (11/15, 1/5, 1/2 tl), Richardson / Poeltl 18. Rebounds: Murray 10. Assist: Murray 8.
The Angels: Horton-Tucker 18 (6/9, 1/5, 3/4 t.l.), Westbrook/ Anthony/Monk 17. Rimbalzi: Westbrook 10. Assist: Westbrook 6.
Dallas Mavericks-Utah Jazz 111-103
—
Super Doncic folds Utah and his Dallas (40-25) approaches Utah (40-24) in the fight for fourth place in the West, the last one that is worth the field advantage in the first round of the playoffs. The Slovenian scores 35 points and adds 16 rebounds, his highest of the season, in a challenge that could be repeated in the post season. Jazz ahead for just 13 ”throughout the game, but still maintain the advantage in the seasonal direct clashes (2-1).
Dallas: Doncic 35 (7/12, 5/11, 6/7 t.l.), Dinwiddie 23, Finney-Smith 21. Rimbalzi: Doncic 16. Assist: Doncic 7.
Utah:Bogdanovic 21 (3/3, 4/8, 3/4 t.l.), Clarkson 19, Mitchell 17. Rimbalzi: Gobert 13. Assist: Mitchell 9.
Detroit Pistons-Atlanta Hawks 113-110 d.t.s.
—
The Pistons (18-47) woke up. Better late than never: they have won 3 games in a row, 6 of the last 8. They also fold Atlanta to extra time, dragged by Cunningham who Coach Casey invokes as freshman of the year (but Mobley will win). 19 points and 10 rebounds for Bagley, who is trying to raise himself. Atlanta (31-33) wastes the chance of a crucial Play-In victory by not capitalizing on the opportunities to close the game, with Young (5-20 shooting) and Hunter at the end of regulation time. For Gallinari 14 points in 21 ‘from the bench, with Collins who has regained his place in the quintet.
Detroit: Cunningham 28 (8/18, 2/7, 6/7 t.l.), Grant 23, Bagley 19. Rimbalzi: Bagley 10. Assist: Cunningham 10.
Atlanta:Bogdanovic 22 (6/8, 2/11, 4/4 tl), Collins 17. Hunter 15. Rebounds: Capela 12. Assist: Young 12. GALLINARI 14 (2/3, 3/6, 1/2 tl), 4 rebounds.
Minnesota Timberwolves-Portland Trail Blazers 124-81
—
Fifth win in a row for the Wolves (37-29) who rage, with Towns and Beasley unleashed, on the Blazers (25-39) in the fifth consecutive knockout, essentially already on vacation. Minny was without Russell and Edwards, but with much more motivation.
Minnesota: Towns 27 (7/13, 1/1, 10/15 t.l.), Beasley 19, Reid 18. Rimbalzi: Towns 13. Assist: Beverley 7.
Portland:Williams 27 (5/11, 2/7, 11/16 t.l.), Johnson 14, Watford/Blevins 11. Rimbalzi: Williams 8. Assist: Hurt 4.
Sacramento Kings-New York Knicks 115-131
—
The Knicks ride Randle, who overflows with 46 points, and thanks to a second half with an 83-52 set, they make a comeback in California. For both teams the Play-In ambitions are minimal, but they still have a legitimate residual hope.
Sacramento:Fox 24 (9/14, 1/4, 3/8 tl), Barnes 23, Sabonis 19. Rebound: Sabonis 13. Assist: Fox 7.
New York: Randle 46 (10/15, 8/16, 272 t.l.), Barrett 29, Quickley 27. Rimbalzi: Randle 10. Assist: Barrett 6.
