An unexpected misstep by the LA Lakers who lose the derby to the LA Clippers (103-88 the final). The yellowviola cashed their eighth loss of the season (19-8 current record) while the cousins took home their seventh win in the regular season (7-21). Decisive was the injury suffered by Doncic in the first half. The Slovenian suffered a problem with his left leg and was forced to forfeit. James tried, in every way, to replace Doncic but, despite his 36 points, the victory went to “Cousins”, dragged by Leonard (32 points).

Houston’s sweep over Denver on the court (115-101 the final). Fundamental was Durant’s contribution, who finished with an impressive 31 points on the scoreboard. Despite the heavy absence of Brown, Boston still managed to get the better of the challenge with Toronto: 112-96 the final. Pritchard on the shields. The green-and-white point guard put up 33 points, with also 10 assists and seven rebounds. Indiana’s bad moment continues, losing also to New Orleans (128-109 the final). Decisive Williamson, author of 29 points (season high).

Good success of Philadelphia, which, with Maxey in great form (38 points), knocks out Dallas: 121-114 the final. The Mavs’ rookie wonder, namely Flagg, finished with 24 points. It was all easy for Detroit, which disposed of Charlotte with a clean 112-86. Once again, it was Cunningham who led the Pistons to victory with a triple double (22 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists). Washington smiles as it wins the match with Memphis 130-122. It takes a super Curry (28 points and 10 rebounds) to allow Golden State to win the confrontation with Phoenix: 119-116 the final. In the Suns’ house, the usual Booker (38 points scored) was not enough.

After an overtime, Orlando beats Utah (128-127 the final). It was by Bane, author of a performance of 32 points overall, the play that earned the Magic success in the sprint. Portland also did well, taking home the victory in the challenge with Sacramento (98-93) at the end of a game of great emotions.

In the Eastern Conference the Pistons always lead with a record of 22 wins and six losses. Behind them are New York (19-8) and Boston (17-11). In the West, OKC remains the best franchise (25-3).
