NBA, Giannis Antetokounmpo stellar but Bucks lose

"We must do better, We must play better, We must defend better"

Among the NBA night’s contests, Antetokounmpo’s monster performance should be highlighted. The two-time MVP scored an impressive 48 points (16/25 from the field) but his Bucks were still beaten by the Rockets (112-108). Uphill race for Lillard, who finished with 18 points but a horrid 5/16 from the field. In the postgame, Antetokounmpo doesn’t mince words: "We have to do better, We have to play better, We have to defend better…. We have four months to improve", his words reported by ESPN.

Who smiles è Utah that manages to win the match with Philadelphia (120-109). The 76ers suffered greatly from the absence of MVP Embiid, who was in the pits with a knee problem. The difference is the 33 points of a resounding Markkanen. In the Jazz’s away success there's also Fontecchio’s contribution. The Italian played 33 minutes, scoring seven points (3/9 shooting), with also two assists.

It was all easy for Boston, which got rid of Indiana (118-101, 38 points and 13 rebounds for Tatum). Nice win also for New York that rules Washington. It ends 121-105 with 33 points from an inspired Brunson. Even better was Rundle who put up a whopping 39 points (13/23 from the field). For the Knicks this is the fourth consecutive victory.
