San Antonio Spurs-Utah Jazz 104-102
—
Gregg Popovich becomes the most successful coach in the history of the league. He wins the success number 1.336 in the 26th season at the helm of the Spurs, overtaking Don Nelson, his mentor, of whom he was an assistant at the beginning of his career. “It’s not just my record, but one that I share with many people, all over the city of San Antonio. Basketball is a team sport, you don’t train for records, but for victories like this one ”. Pop sets the lone record by coaching the 2,030 match, crowned by a 40-28 comeback in the last quarter. Murray’s free throws in the final were decisive, Gay’s triple with 1 ”to play was not enough for Utah (41-25) to make the turnaround. Spurs (26-41) closer to tenth place in the West which is worth the Play-In, with New Orleans in free fall.
Saint Anthony:Murray 27 (8/18, 1/5, 8/12 tl), Poeltl / Collins 15. Rebounds: Poeltl 11. Assist: Murray 4.
Utah:Mitchell 24 (6/12, 4/11), Clarkson 17, Gobert/Whiteside 13. Rimbalzi: Gobert 16. Assist: Mitchell 6.
Los Angeles Lakers-Washington Wizards 122-109

LeBron remains inimitable, even at 37. He is showing off his 14th 50-point game, the second straight at home, after the 56 he scored against Golden State. This time the company is dedicated to efficiency: 18/25 from the field. Unmarkable, like he was a kid. The Wizards (29-36) give the Lakers (29-37) 53%, the playoffs will probably remain a chimera for them. And Kuzma and Caldwell-Pope’s return to Los Angeles as an ex turns out to be a fiasco. The Lakers, 7 points down at half-time, dominate the second half. The quintet that finished and won the game for the yellow-violet was with Horton-Tucker and Johnson on the court, with Westbrook and Anthony on the bench.
The Angels: James 50 (12/16, 6/9, 8/8 t.l.), Monk 21, Horton-Tucker 15. Rimbalzi: James 7. Assist: Westbrook 9.
Washington:Kuzma 23 (7/12, 2/6, 3/9 tl), Kispert 21, Hachimura 15. Rimbalzi: Porzingis 14. Assist: Satoransky / Neto 4.
Phoenix Suns-Toronto Raptors 112-117
—
Trent scores 42 points, his highest this season, just two off his career record, and the Raptors (36-30) take a crucial victory in Arizona, thus keeping Brooklyn at a distance in the Play-in view. Second consecutive success since the return of Van Vleet, after 3 defeats in a row in his absence. Coach Nurse’s guys limit Booker to just 3 points in the last quarter, and in Paul’s absence he makes all the difference in the world. The Suns lose for just the eighth time of the season at home, their record, 53-14, remains the best in the league by margin.
Phoenix:Payne 24 (6/9, 3/9, 3/4 t.l.), Booker 22, Bridges 18. Rimbalzi: McGee 8. Assist: Booker 7.
Toronto: Trent 42 (5/10, 8/11, 8/8 tl), Siakam 25, Barnes 15. Rimbalzi: Trent / Van Vleet 8. Assist: Siakam 10.
Memphis Grizzlies-New York Knicks 118-114
—
Another chapter in Ja Morant’s fabulous seasonal story. This time he scores 37 points, 15 in the last quarter, those that are worth the comeback of the Grizzlies (46-22), who stretch again on Golden State in perspective second place in the West. Randle’s performance from the red circle is not enough for the Knicks (28-39), who closes with 36 points and 12 rebounds. The entrance to the playoffs, even from the back door of the Play-in is becoming more and more complicated for the guys of Coach Thibodeau.
Memphis:Morant 37 (13/29, 1/4, 8/10 tl), Jackson / Williams 13. Rebounds: Adams / Anderson 9. Assist: Morant 8.
New York:Randle 36 (8/21, 3/6, 11/13 t.l.), Barrett 23, Burks 18. Rimbalzi: Robinson 16. Assist: Randle 6.
New Orleans Pelicans-Charlotte Hornets 120-142
—
The Pelicans (27-40) take a big risk. Losing for the fourth consecutive time, they find themselves in the decisive moment of the season without the two best players. McCollum’s absence, out of action due to a muscle problem, ends up in the Covid protocol. And therefore New Orleans is thus swept away at home by Charlotte (33-35), who shoots with 59.8% from the field, scoring 22 triples. Bridges and Rozier even rage, and the Hornets amass assists, 41.
New Orleans:Murphy 32 (5/8, 7/12, 1/2 t.l.), Graham 19. Hernagomez 15. Rimbalzi: Murphy 9. Assist: Graham/Marshall 7.
Charlotte:Bridges 26 (5/7, 4/8, 4/5 t.l.), Rozier 25, Ball 17. Rimbalzi: Bridges 8. Assist: Bridges/Ball 9.
