The Utah surprise continues. The Jazz also won over Portland (118-113), bringing their record to 12 wins and six losses (best franchise in the West). Beasley, off the bench, scores 29 points. Fontecchio, in 12′, scores three points. On the other side Lillard disappoints: 13 points with 1/12 from three-point range.
In the other games, Atlanta got the better of Toronto in a sprint (124-122 in overtime, a basket by Griffin decided). Embiid scores 32 points but Philadelphia’s comeback against Minnesota comes to a screeching halt (112-109 the final). Well did the LA Clippers who prevailed in their challenge with Sacramento (119-97). Finally, Indiana wins against Orlando (114-113, still out with injury Banchero).
