NBA, Simone Fontecchio increasingly comfortable with Miami Heat

Fourth game of the season and fourth time in double figures in the scoring department for Simone Fontecchio, who is increasingly comfortable wearing the Miami Heat’s jersey in the NBA: in the 144-117 win over the Charlotte Hornets by the Florida franchise, the Abruzzese put up 10 points in 19 minutes, with a plus/minus of +21 to confirm his effectiveness on the court.

For the Blue, so far, it is as satisfactory a start to the season as that of his new team, which in the first four regular season games has racked up three wins (against Memphis, New York and Charlotte) and only one loss, in the opener against Orlando. Although it is premature to make ranking-related speeches, the Heat are enjoying third place in the East, right behind the Philadelphia 76ers and the Chicago Bulls.

The Sixers themselves, on the night, celebrated their fourth win in as many games by defeating the Washington Wizards at home: 139-134 the final result after an overtime, with Tyrese Maxey best in the game thanks to a 39-point, 10-assist effort. Then, in the other games of the night, the star of Giannis Antetokounmpo shines, dragging the Milwaukee Bucks to a home win against the New York Knicks: 37 points from the Greek, which rendered useless, on the other side, Jalen Brunson’s 36.

In the West, the Oklahoma City Thunder are confirmed undefeated in five games, and on the wings of a 31-point, 9-rebound Shai Gilgeous-Alexander they overcome the Sacramento Kings 107-101, who, on the other hand, are not satisfied with Domantas Sabonis’ double-double of 10 points and 18 rebounds. Also confirming their excellent start to the season are the Golden State Warriors (4 won and 1 lost), who beat the Los Angeles Clippers in the California derby 98-79, with 21 points, 5 rebounds and as many assists from Jimmy Butler.
