Utah surrenders to Sacramento, bad Fontecchio
Six NBA contests played on the night. Spotlight on the Denver-Milwaukee big match, i.e., the showdown between Jokic and Antetokounmpo. Both superstars finished with 31 points apiece but the win went to the Nuggets (129-106).
It was all easy for Atlanta with Indiana (145-130). Bitter chew for Miami, which surrendered to Brooklyn (129-100). Excellent success for Phoenix: 125-105 against Philadelphia. Utah falls, beaten rather soundly by Sacramento (121-113). Fontecchio, who started in the starting quintet, played an impressive 29′ but finished with only five points (2/10 shooting). Finally, New Orleans prevails in its match with the LA Clippers (131-110).
