NBA: Golden State risks but wins, Milwaukee falls
The Bucks didn’t need 35 points from Antetokounmpo to beat Memphis
Prominent among the NBA night’s contests was Milwaukee’s defeat, beaten by Memphis (113-110). Although lacking several key elements, the Grizzlies managed to take advantage of a distracted game by the Bucks, who, only in the finale, attempted (futilely) to come back. Lillard, 24 points, misses the triple of the possible tie. Not enough the usual Antetokounmpo, author of 35 points, with also 12 assists on the score sheet.
Playing with fire Golden State. The success against Utah came only at the last breath (140-137). Comfortably ahead, the Warriors suffered a vehement reaction from the Jazz. It was Thompson, with 35 points on the scoreboard, who prevented the Jazz comeback from going to the wire. For Golden State, this is the 27th win of the season, compared to 26 losses.
Easy win for Minnesota, which overwhelmed Portland (128-91). As many as seven players in double figures in points on the Timberwolves’ roster. Shining, in particular, was Edwars, who put up 34 points, with also seven assists and six rebounds. The'only one giving comforting signs in a Trail Blazers jersey è Grant who finishes with 20 points. In the East, Boston (43-12) always dominates. Minnesota consolidates first place in the West (39-16).
