NBA, black crisis for Golden State: comes fifth straight loss
In Italian night games, LeBron James’ Lakers also defeated.
After the Orlando mockery – a contest that Golden State had led for a long time, only to lose in a sprint – Coach Kerr decided to give his bigs a rest ahead of his team’s back-to-back away games, committed in New Orleans against the Pelicans. The move did not turn out to be the most apt as against the sextet led on the court by an excellent Brandon Ingram, author in the end of 26 points, came the fifth consecutive defeat for the defending champions, now slipping to 12th place in the Wwstern Conference with only three wins out of seven matches.
It didn’t go much better for LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers, who after a home win against the Pelicans themselves, succumbed at home to the Utah Jazz: the ‘King’ came close to a triple-double with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, while shooting a meager 7/19 from the field.
In the other contests of the night, eighth success in eight games for the unstoppable Milwaukee Bucks of Giannis Antetokounmpo, author of a triple double, while the Brooklyn Nets, without Kyrie Irving stopped by the company, strolled on the court of the Wizards imposing themselves 86-128.
