The Thunder's All Star signs off on a 52-point night
Many NBA competitions played in the night. Nice victory of Golden State against OKC: 116-109 the final. Gilgeous-Alexander scores 52 points but it’s not enough for the Thunder to avoid their ninth loss of the season (37 wins). It was all easy for Boston, which ruled Chicago with a clean 122-106. Important contributions from Brown (28 points) and White (22 points), although è Porzingis made the difference with 34 points on the scoreboard. San Antonio loses, beaten by the LA Clippers (128-116). Victory, at the buzzer, by Dallas against New Orleans (137-136). Thanks to 33 points from Edwards, Minnesota tops Phoenix (121-113).
Toronto’s magical moment continues as it folds Washington (106-82) to string together its fifth consecutive victory (first time this season). Excellent performance by Barnes, who finished with 24 points. Detroit falls, beaten by Indiana with a dry 133-119. Fontecchio, in 16' of play, finishes with six points and four rebounds on the bench.
Show of strength by Brooklyn, which got rid of Charlotte (104-83 the final), thus returning to success after seven straight games lost. Philadelphia also did well, beating Sacramento (117-104). That makes four consecutive wins for the 76ers. Once again, è Maxey made the difference with 30 total points.
Prestigious success for New York that knocks out Denver (122-112). Brunson shines: 30 points and 15 rebounds. On the other side, Jokic fails to play at his usual level (17 points, six rebounds and six assists).
