NBA: Cleveland to 14 straight wins, OKC show.
Antetokounmpo’s 30 points aren’t enough for Milwaukee
Lots of excitement on NBA day. A sumptuous Gilgeous-Alexander, author of as many as 40 points, drags OKC to success in the big match against Denver (127-103 the final). The Nuggets lose, through injury, Gordon. Jokic tries everything (24 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists) but, against the Thunder, there'è little they can do. OKC rises to 53 wins against only 11 losses.
Show of strength also by Cleveland, which got rid of Milwaukee (112-100), stringing together its 14th consecutive win (54-10 the Cavs’ current record). Game dominated by Gilgeous-Alexander who finishes with an impressive 40 points, confirming that he is the favorite for the title of MVP of this regular season. On the other side, Antetokounmpo's 30 points were not enough.
Dallas falls again, overcome by Phoenix: 125-116 the final with 24 points by Booker. Nice success also for Memphis, which imposes itself, in a sprint, on New Orleans, deprived of Williamson (107-104 the final). Memphis thanks the usual Morant who put up an impressive 32 points with also six assists. After an overtime, the LA Clippers, with a Leonard magic at the buzzer, beat Sacramento (111-110).
After three losses in a row, Philadelphia returned to smiles: 126-122 over Utah (25 points by Walker IV). It was all easy for Minnesota, which swept San Antonio with a dry 141-124 (25 points by Edwards). Detroit wins: 119-112 over Portland. Good Cunningham scoring an impressive 28 points. For Fontecchio there were five points and three rebounds.
