NBA, Lakers despair: defeat and injury to Davis
Devoid of James, the Lakers also lose, to an eye problem, Davis
LA Lakers surrender to Minnesota (127-117). On the court without James (flu), the yellowviola also had to give up Davis in the second half, who was forced to raise the white flag due to a left eye injury (inadvertently hit by Anderson). Without the two stars, the Lakers were overwhelmed by the Timberwolves, who, in the second quarter, put up a 46 to 27 partial that directed the match.
In the other games, fourth consecutive loss for Milwaukee, which also surrendered to New York (122-109). Gallinari did not take the court while, among the Knicks’ ranks, the usual Brunson shined, finishing with an impressive 43 points. The Bucks’ record è nosediving (47-31). It was all easy for Boston, which ruled Portland (124-107) with 26 points for Brown (now over 10,000 career points).
Golden State also smiles, which, thanks to a super Thompson (32 points), gets rid of Utah (118-110). After no less than two overtimes, Philadelphia finds a way to knock out San Antonio: 133-126 the final. For the third time this season, Maxey, star of the 76ers (without Embiid), scores at least 50 points (52 against the Spurs). Orlando also wins, which folds Chicago (113-98). Brooklyn falls badly, tarred by Sacramento (107-77).
