"I have been working very hard on my physique", explained the French player

"I think I reached my full potential in just one summer"
"I’ve made so much progress, I’m stronger and the scale also says bigger"

"Spending time in a Shaolin monastery was an incredible experience", revealed the Frenchman
"I stepped out of my comfort zone, I wanted to do it but I didn’t expect an experience on the physical level so different"

Great win for Milwaukee that knocks off Boston (the Celtics were coming off five straight wins). It ends 116-101 for the Bucks, still without their all-star Antetokounmpo. Kuzma shined, ending the match with 31 points on the scoreboard. On the other side, Brown&#8217s 27 points were not enough.

Houston sprint victory. With just 17.2″ from the buzzer, Thompson scored the three-point play that knocked out the LA Clippers (115-113 the final), who collected their eighth stop in the last nine outings.

Sorry, finally, New Orleans knocks out Portland: 143-120. The Pelicans had not won in seven games. Excellent performance by Murphy III: 24 points with also five rebounds and four assists.
