NBA, Anthony Davis puts up 44: Lakers privateer at home Antetokounmpo
Glory night also for LeBron James, who surpasses a certain ‘Magic’ Johnson on the all-time list of players with the most assists
Usual exciting evening full of prowess was given by the 22 teams engaged on the National Basketball Association’s parquet floors in the night just passed. The Los Angeles Lakers, revitalized by the Darwin Ham cure, racked up their seventh win in the last nine contests by conquering no less than the court of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Milwaukee Bucks – author of 40 points with 7 rebounds and 5 assists – with an extraordinary performance by Anthony Davis, who put up 44 points. A night to remember also for ‘King’ James, who churns out 11 assists reaching the remarkable figure of 10,144 career winning passes, surpassing ‘Magic’ Johnson in this special ranking.
In the other games, Miami’s outside win at home to the Celtics, while Golden State beat the Chicago Bulls at home thanks in part to Jordan Poole’s 30 points, with 7 triples, coming off the bench. Memphis and New Orleans also did well. Here are the results of the 11 games played from the West Coast to the East Coast.
