NBA, Trae Young knocks out the Celtics

Win for Golden State losing Green to injury

Another defeat for Boston, which, at TD Garden, surrendered to the excellent Atlanta (119-115 the final, after an overtime). For the defending NBA champions, it was the eighth defeat in the last 16 games played. Great performance by Young. The Hawks star finished with 28 points and also 11 valuable assists. On the other side, Pritchard’s 20 points were not enough.

Detroit falls, beaten by Phoenix (125-121). Durant shines, putting up 36 points. Only 13 minutes on the court for Fontecchio who finishes with only four points (2/4 shooting). Nice success of Indiana that got rid of Philadelphia with the final score of 115-102. The 76ers showed up without Embiid, George and Lowry. For the Pacers, eighth win in their last nine outings.

Sharp victory also by Houston: 125-103 over Portland. Texans dominant in the second half (75-53 the partial in favor of the Rockets). Excellent performance by Green (26 points) and Segun (23 points and 15 rebounds).

Toast to success also Golden State that manages to overcome Washington (122-114 the final). It was the usual Curry who made the difference with 26 points on the scoreboard. Of note is Green's calf injury in the first minutes of the match (he may be forced to sit out for a while').
