Ehe trio formed by NBA: Dallas Mavericks winning streak ends abruptly”>Kevin Durant, James Harden Y Kyrie Irving He is on his way to being the least used ‘Big Three’ in history. ‘La Barba’ was the last to reach the Nets. It will be a year since that operation that in mid-February of last year threatened to blow up the NBA. But once again it is proving that the accumulation of stars does not guarantee success.
In that time, the trident has barely been able to coincide on the track. The injuries of some and the non-vaccinations of another they have made, of the 119 possible matches, the three have only coincided in 16, 13.4% of the total. The balance in those games is 13 wins and three losses, but the lack of continuity has prevented the NBA from feeling threatened by the three Nets talents.
On the visit to the Warriors, Durant was still out for a left knee medial collateral ligament sprain. He was joined by Harden, with a right hand strain. the ones that Irving was left alone, who was able to play as the game was outside of Brooklyn, where he is prohibited from accessing the pavilion as he was not vaccinated. He made 32 points, his highest since the Nets agreed to have him part-time. They were not enough.
Results of the day
- Pelicans 97-107 Celtics
- Mavericks 132-105 Pacers
- Sixers 103-101 Kings
- Heat 120-124 Raptors
- Grizzlies 115-95 Wizards
- Warriors 110-106 Nets
And maybe the trio will end up breaking up now that the first anniversary of their union is approaching. The rumors around Harden They continue to grow as the NBA market closes. The shooting guard, who averages 23.0 points, 10.1 assists and 8.1 rebounds, seems upset with coach Steve Nash’s decision-making, for the fact that the Nets accepted that Irving would only play the games away from home and because he does not feel comfortable in the city. The option of ending in the Sixers, beside Daryl Morey, his general manager in the Rockets, it sounds louder and louder.
Jayson Tatum command the triumph of Celtics in New Orleans (97-107) scoring 38 points, in addition to adding eight rebounds and seven assists. This is how he extended his great moment of play, because in the last four games he has averages of 36.3+7.0+6.0 and this with more than five triples per game and with outstanding shooting percentages.
Once again I enlisted the help of Jaylen Brown, who scored 31 points. It’s the fourth time this season that both Celtics stars have passed 30 in the same game. They equaled the four times they achieved it in their first four campaigns together. No pair of classmates have done this course more than two, being DeMar DeRozan y Zach LaVine, in the Bulls, his most immediate persecutors.
Joel Embiid kept the MVP mode active in the comeback of the Sixers Over the Kings. The pvot had 36 points, 12 rebounds and six assists, finishing another day with more scores than minutes on the court (35). those of Sacramento they came to win by 17 (35-52), but a great second half from the locals gave them their fourteenth victory in the last 17 games. Tyrese Haliburton he had 38 points for the Kings. It is the highest score of his career, but it was of no use to his team, in a free fall after six straight losses.
Willy Hernangmez I was once again a starter in the Pelicans in the absence of Jonas Valančiūnas. The pvot was below recent performances, although he finished with a not inconsiderable 14 points (5/10 in field goals), five rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes of play. In the three games since he started, he has averaged 20.3 points and 10.3 rebounds. While, Saints Aldama he returned to the rotation after two games without playing. He played two minutes in the triumph of the Grizzlies and he was only able to add one rebound, one turnover and two fouls to his stats.
In that game of Grizzlies it was possible to see another recital of Ja Morant, who finished with 34 points. It was his sixth game in a row over 30. He continues to show that he is already a great NBA star. Hence his presence in the All Star starting quintet.
