.
After his 62 points scored against Indiana, Booker had another super game. Against Orlando, the Suns all-star put up an impressive 44 points but the victory è eluded him. The Magic, in fact, won 113-98, dragged by the 26 points of a wild Banchero. For Phoenix it was the 20th loss of the season, compared to 26 wins.
In a surprise, OKC loses the challenge against Detroit (not entered Gallinari). Decisive was the partial second quarter, won by the Pistons 46-30. Excellent performance by Duren: 22 points and an impressive 21 rebounds. Indiana also smiles, getting rid of Memphis (116-110 the final). Good contribution from newcomer Siakam, who finished with 19 points.
The most exciting contest of the night è that between Atlanta and Toronto. The Hawks prevailed 126-125 thanks to a last-gasp dunk by Bey. Young finished with 30 points but a not-excellent 15/24 shooting. Portland falls, beaten by Chicago (104-96). DeRozan puts up 20 points. In the East, the Celtics always lead with a record of 35 wins and 11 losses. In the West, despite the loss, first OKC (32-14), though now co-habiting with Minnesota (32-14). LA Lakers currently ninth (24-23).
