NBA: Miami beats Chicago, Morant show against Spurs: 52 points
In the NBA night, in the clash at the summit of the Eastern Conference, comes the fourth consecutive victory and the seal on a leading march of the Miami Heat that impose 112-99 on the Chicago Bulls. The 20 points each of Vincent and Herro decide (coming off the bench), in addition to the 15 made by Butler and Adebayo. In Chicago, on the other hand, 22 from LaVine and 18 from DeRozan and Dosunmu are not enough. But the night has another cover man, to look for in North Florida: it is Ja Morant who immediately rewrites his career high after 46 points against the Bulls: this time the Grizzlies star scores 52 against the Spurs (118-105). Morant is in his 12th game above 30 in the last 16. “All thanks to my teammates and my coaches”, he said, but it’s only partially true. Memphis allows himself the luxury of having only three double-digit players: the teammate with the most points after the 22-year-old from Dalzell is Melton with 15 starting from the bench.
Here comes the home humiliation for the Brooklyin Nets who lose 97-133 to the Raptors. For the bianconeri the 15 of Aldridge and the 14 for one of Brown and Thomas were useless, for the Canadians the double double by Barnes with 28 points and 16 rebounds was decisive. All easy for the Milwaukee Bucks, who pass at home against the Hornets led by Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 26 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists, while the Cleveland Cavaliers also lost in front of their audience, beaten by the Minnesota Timberwolves (122-127). Twenty-five points for Russell with a 4 out of 8 from three, on the other hand the 26 of Love and 21 each of Allen and Osman are not enough.
