NBA: not even Nikola Jokic stops Cleveland

Another triple double for the Joker but the Cavs win

The big match between Cleveland and Denver smiles on the Cavs as they win 126-114, further improving their stellar season record (20-3). Great performance by Mitchell, author of 28 points. Also decisive was Garland, who finished with 24 points, with also six assists on the score sheet. Nuggets held back by their horrendous three-point shooting percentage.

Not enough the usual, extraordinary proof of Jokic who gives himself yet another triple double of the season with 27 points, 20 rebounds and 11 assists (but shooting 26 times from the field). Well Golden State that, without Curry and Green, takes home the challenge with Houston (99-93, 33 points by Kuminga).

Dallas smiles as it disposes of Washington (137-101), grabbing its sixth win in a row. The Mavs shoot an excellent 20/38 from three-point range. Doncic celebrates the 78° triple-double of his career: 21 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists (è now ranks seventh on the all-time triple-double list).

Nice success of OKC over Toronto (129-92) while New York wins over Charlotte (125-101). Decisive was the third period with a 28-6 partial in favor of the Knicks (27 points by Towns). San Antonio (without Wembanyama) falls, beaten by Chicago (139-124). Victory, in a sprint, by New Orleans against Phoenix (126-124). Finally, Memphis wins the challenge with Sacramento (115-110).
