It wasn’t easy, but Wednesday evening i Cleveland Cavaliers they saw their winning streak continue, beating the Philadelphia 76ers 114-106. Thanks to Donovan Mitchell, who scored 13 of his 23 points in the final quarter, the Cavaliers became the sixth team in NBA history to win at least 13 consecutive games to start a seasonabout the 76ers without All-Stars Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and Joel Embiid. Of the five previous teams able to start the season with a 13-0 record, four reached the NBA Finals, but only the 1993-94 Houston Rockets won the title, ESPN Research reported.
Giannis says 59
Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 59 points to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 127-120 victory after overtime against the Detroit Pistons. It’s the highest score of the season in the NBA by a single player and the second career high for Antetokounmpo, who scored 64 points against the Indiana Pacers last year. Antetokounmpo made 21 of 34 shots from the field, 16 of 17 on free throws, adding 14 rebounds and seven assists as the Bucks overcame an 18-point deficit in the second half. It was his eighth career game with 20 field goals, tying Kobe Bryant and Bob McAdoo for seventh most in NBA history.
First 50 for Wemby
The Spurs star, Victor Wembanyama, scored a career high 50 points, including eight three-pointers (also a personal best), in a 139-130 win against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night. “My first thought is that, ultimately, I want the other performances, the other games, to overshadow this one,” Wembanyama said. “I want to get to the point where, in the future, [questa partita] it will be just one of many.” Before Wembanyama, the last three 50-point games for the Spurs had been played in overtime. The last 50-point performance in regulation dates back to 1994, with David Robinson. At 20 years and 314 days, Wembanyama is the fourth youngest player ever to score 50 points. At 2.24 meters tall, he is also the tallest to do so.
The usual LeBron
His Majesty LeBron finished with 35 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists in almost 37 minutes of play in the match against the Grizzliesleading the Lakers to their sixth consecutive victory at home, where the yellow and purple are still undefeated. The Lakers, after leading by 15 points in the second quarter, suffered a comeback from the Grizzlies in the third quarter, unable to contain a team without Ja Morant and Desmond Bane. It is then that LeBron James has to work overtime to bring the yellow and purple back into the game, with the help of an excellent Dalton Knecht, who scores 19 points with a perfect 5/5 from three. In the fourth quarter, the Lakers also managed to find rhythm with Anthony Davis (21 points and 14 rebounds) and Austin Reaves (18 points), thus overcoming the Grizzlies’ seven players in double figures, led by Jaren Jackson Jr.’s 29 points.
