Victory for Golden State who lost Green due to injury
Another loss for Boston which, at the TD Garden, surrendered to the best Atlanta (final 119-115, after overtime). For the reigning NBA champions, this is the eighth loss in the last 16 games played. Excellent performance by Young. The Hawks star finished with 28 points and 11 valuable assists. On the other hand, Pritchard’s 20 points were not enough.
Detroit fell, defeated by Phoenix (125-121). Durant shined when he scored 36 points. Only 13 minutes on the pitch for Fontecchio who finished with only four points (2/4 shooting). Great success for Indiana who eliminated Philadelphia with a final score of 115-102. The 76ers showed up without Embiid, George and Lowry. For the Pacers, it was their eighth win in the last nine games.
Also a clear victory for Houston: 125-103 against Portland. The Texans dominated the second half (75-53 partially in favor of the Rockets). Excellent performance by Green (26 points) and Segun (23 points and 15 rebounds).
Golden State also toasted success because it was able to overcome Washington (122-114 final). The usual Curry took care of making the difference with 26 points on the scoresheet. What was noted was Green’s calf injury in the first minutes of the game (he may be forced to sit for a while).
