Triple double near miss for LBJ
Even without Doncic and Irving, Dallas won the LA Lakers (118-97 final). For the yellow and purple, James was not enough with 18 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds. In Mavs, Grimes shines, author of 23 points (6/13 from three points). Loss that hurts the yellow and purple: 20-16 is the current record of James and his teammates.
In other games of the night, Houston easily eliminated Washington (135-112, 29 points from Green). Phoenix’s bad luck continued, losing again against Charlotte (115-104). LaMelo Ball had a great performance (32 points and 10 rebounds). Minnesota suffered but still won: 104-97 against New Orleans.
The usual difference was made by Edwards who scored 32 points, where he also added nine rebounds. Noteworthy, among the ranks of the Pelicans, is the return of Williamson who, in 28 minutes on the pitch, scored 22 points, showing that he is in good physical shape.
Great success for Atlanta against Utah (124-121 final) while Miami was able to beat Golden State (114-98). Not enough, in the Warriors jersey, a Curry with 31 points in total. In the end, Boston took advantage of the absence of Jokic among the ranks of Denver, which led to a great success (118-106 final). Tatum had his usual hand: 29 points on the scoresheet.
