SAN ANTONIO SPURS 122 – OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER 120
The Spurs take a step forward in their fight to enter the top ten of the Western Conference. The Lakers are two wins up and the Pelicans are one. The Texans unraveled the Thunder in a tight game. Pokusevski (16) scored with four seconds left and Walker (20) responded with a 3-pointer with just one second remaining. They were both substitutes. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, with 34 points, was the best of the match despite the defeat of his team.
NEW YORK KNICKS 128 – PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS 98
The Blazers get off that fight in the West. They got hit hard at Madison Square Garden on a day when they had no choice. Barrett (31) was the game’s top scorer. Eighth loss in nine games for Portland, which without Nurkic, Lillard and Simons is beginning to lose hope.
SACRAMENTO KINGS 126 – MILWAUKEE BUCKS 135
The Kings are also interrupted, for the time being, their dream of reaching tenth place in the Western Conference. The passing of the champion through Sacramento made them lose. Antetokounmpo (36) and Middleton (32) spoiled the options of the locals with two exhibitions in attack.
UTAH JAZZ 125 – CHICAGO BULLS 110
The Jazz outperformed the Bulls in the second half and the aggregate of the match, who are beginning to be noticed with their tongues out in contrast to their good start to the campaign. Donovan Mitchell was Utah’s main defender. The shooting guard scored 37 points, 25 of them in the third period. Jordan Clarkson, at 26, also counted as a major threat. Snyder’s team remains ahead in the Northwest Division.
HOUSTON ROCKETS 112 – PHOENIX SUNS 129
Only Payne, who had 11 assists and 7 rebounds, stayed below 20 points among the Suns’ starters. The best was Booker, with 36. The Arizonans went through Houston like a gale. They have lost more games at home, eight, than away, six, this course.
LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS 100 – TORONTO RAPTORS 103
The Raptors took a small lead with eight minutes to go and did not let go. Despite a triple by Batum that put the Canadians on the ropes, victory for them. VanVleet missed two of his final four free throws and left the door open for Marcus Morris to send the game into overtime, but his 3-pointer didn’t go in.
