NBA, Boston signs eighth in a row, Paul Banchero show
Boston confirms itself as the best franchise in the entire NBA
More success for the Celtics who won at Madison Square Garden, at home of the Knicks, with a round 116-102. Great protagonist of the match è Brown who closes with an impressive 30 points on the scoreboard (19 for the other star Tatum). On the other side, a 34-point Brunson was not enough. For Boston it was the eighth consecutive victory. With a record of 45 won and only 12 lost, the green-and-whites are the best franchise in the entire NBA.
Great emotions in the challenge between Orlando and Detroit, won by the Magic at the buzzer (112-109 the final). When there were 12 seconds to go, score was tied. The play that was worth Orlando’s success was signed by Banchero with an enormously talented three-point play (15 points and 5 rebounds overall). On the other side, Fontecchio's 17 points (7/15 from the field for the Blue) were not enough.
Nice success also for Minnesota, which got rid of Brooklyn (101-86) and è again first in the West (40-17). Towns (28 points) and Edwards (29 points) shined. Minnesota continues to confirm itself as the franchise with the best defense overall. The Nets, despite Gobert's absence (ankle problem), do not go beyond 34 percent from the field.
