NBA, Celtics stellar: 30 home wins and playoffs guaranteed

Only five minutes on the court for Gallinari with zero points

Plenty of NBA regular season games played on the Italian night. Yet another show of strength for the Celtics, who also got rid of the Suns (127-112, 26 points by Tatum and Brown), earning their 30th home win, compared to only three losses. Numbers not seen in Boston since the Bird days. With a record of 52 won and 14 lost, Boston è already mathematically qualified for the playoffs.

Nice success of New York against Portland (105-93, 45 points by an excellent Brunson) while OKC wins the match with Dallas (126-119). In the Mavs house, the absence of Doncic weighs heavily. Important success also for the LA Clippers: 126-111 against Chicago. All easy for Houston, which overcame Washington 135-119. Excellent performance by Green, who finished with 37 points.

Finally, Milwaukee makes the confrontation with Philadelphia its own. The Bucks won 114-105. The contribution of Antetokounmpo was decisive, who put up 32 points, with also 11 rebounds. In the fourth period, he scored 13 points, without missing a single shot. In the 76ers’ house, Embiid is still out. Gallinari played only five minutes, failing to score a single point.
