Lots of excitement on NBA night. Everything happens in the Phoenix-LA Lakers showdown. The yellowviola run away even to +20 and seem to have the victory in their grasp. Instead, boosted also by the home crowd, the Suns reacted and came back in a big way, getting to +1 with 12″2 to go to the buzzer. Brooks-James sparks. LBJ goes to the lunette for three free throws (foul by Dillon Brooks himself). King James misses the first but puts up the next two, giving the LA Lakers +2 with 3″9 on the clock. Grayson Allen can&#8217t get anything going, and the yellowviola take home a valuable win (18-7 the’current Los Angeles record).

In Florida he won two titles, in 2012 and 2013
Then the resounding return to Cleveland, where he won the title in 2016 in an'epic final against Golden State, rallying from'1-3 to 4-3 in the series
In 2018 the'last transfer, the one to the Los Angeles Lakers
In yellow-violet won the 2020 title in the "bubble" anti-Covid and the'inaugural edition of the NBA Cup, at the end of 2023
Someone thought that LeBron, in LA, was on the sunset path

Instead he continues to dominate, averaging over 23 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists at age 40

Among his records there'is also that of being the only player to have played an NBA game together with his son: Bronny, in fact, was chosen in the'last draft by the Lakers
What he is having is season number 22 in the NBA…

… and "King James" still seems to be having a lot of fun

Heavy defeat for Golden State, which falls on Portland’s court: 136-131 the final. In his second match after injury, Steph Curry is unstoppable. The Warriors’All Star puts up an impressive 48 points, with 12 triples scored. Unfortunately for Golden State, his super performance is not enough. The Trail Blazers, dragged by Shaedon Sharpe and Jerami Grant (35 points apiece), managed to hold off the Warriors and give Portland its first success after three straight losses. Charlotte also smiles, which, after an overtime, knocks off Cleveland (119-111 the final). Great performance by Brandon Miller, author of 25 points, topped by 13 rebounds.

After almost two months, Washington regains the outdoor victory: 108-89 against Indiana, at the end of a game in which the Pacers, in fact, were never in the game (23 points by Marvin Bagley). Drawn by Dyson Daniels (27 points and 10 rebounds), Atlanta beat, in a sprint, Philadelphia (120-117), forfeiting a valuable success. Without Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee succumbs, too easily, to Brooklyn. The Nets take the victory with a clean 127-82. It was all easy for Minnesota, which, even without Anthony Edwards, got rid of Sacramento (117-103). Well New Orleans: 114-104 against Chicago.

In the Eastern Conference, Detroit leads with 20 wins against only five losses. Behind it is New York (18-7). It should be remembered that the Knicks are expected to play in the NBA Cup final scheduled for Tuesday night and Wednesday night. Further behind are the Boston Celtics with 15 wins and 10 losses.

In the Western Conference, OKC excels, which also has the best record in the entire league (24-2). The LA Lakers, at the moment, are fourth with 18 wins and seven losses but are very close to second place. New Orleans, at the moment, is the franchise with the worst record, having won only five out of 27 games played.
