Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Milwaukee Bucks (32 points, 12 rebounds) claimed their seventh casualty in as many games, winning 116-91 against Detroit on Wednesday, during an NBA night also marked by the Lakers’ success against New Orleans (120-117 ap) .
At the start of the season, nothing can resist Milwaukee, and certainly not the Detroit Pistons, overwhelmed by the Antetokounmpo team, who boosted his double double with five interceptions and four assists. The Greek giant was well supported in attack by Jrue Holiday, who scored 26 points including four three-point baskets.
Led by the first quarter, the Pistons then saw the score swell relentlessly, recording their seventh defeat in nine games, the second worst Eastern Conference record.
This wide success, on the contrary, allows the Bucks to keep the lead on their own, resisting the galloping Cavaliers, who have validated a sixth consecutive success (for a defeat) at the end of the suspense against the Boston Celtics (114-113 p).
33 points for Doncic
In the Western Conference it is not yet a time for great celebrations for the Lakers, but the Los Angeles franchise, after opening its rerun Sunday against the Nuggets, recorded a second success, against New Orleans (120- 117 ap), one of the teams in good shape at the beginning of the season.
If LeBron James got the double double (20 points, 10 rebounds), the Californian hero of the day is called Matt Ryan, author on the siren of a three-point basket that allowed the Lakers to push the Pelicans into extra time, to share 111 everywhere. Throughout the entire game, it was Lonnie Walker IV who was the top scorer (28 points) of Los Angeles, now looking for a more even record – currently 2-5.
Clint Capela’s Atlanta Hawks won 112-99 against the New York Knicks. Lined up for just over 25 minutes, the Genevan pivot scored 8 points (3 out of 8 throws and 2 free throws out of 2) and 10 rebounds, 4 of which were offensive. In the standings, the Hawks currently occupy fourth place in the Eastern Conference, with a good ratio of 5 wins and 3 losses in 8 games. Far behind the Bucks and their 100% in 7 games …

Anti-Semitism: Kyrie Irving donates $ 500,000
Kyrie Irving admitted Wednesday that promoting an anti-Semitic film on her social networks had a “negative impact” on the Jewish community, pledging to donate $ 500,000 to associations working to eradicate hatred and intolerance. His Brooklyn Nets club, which plays in the NBA, has made the same financial commitment, they jointly announced in a press release written in partnership with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
This non-governmental organization, whose goal is to support Jews against all forms of anti-Semitism, strongly condemned the publication, last Thursday, on Irving’s Twitter and Instagram accounts, of a poster of the film “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America” and a link to the Amazon site to rent or buy it.
Directed in 2018 by Ronald Dalton, Jr, the documentary is adapted from a 2015 book of the same name, in which it is written, for example, that “many famous and high-ranking Jews” have “admitted” to having “worshiped Satan or Lucifer” .
“I am aware of the negative impact of my message on the Jewish community and I take responsibility for it,” said Irving. I don’t think everything that was said in the film was true or reflects my morals and principles. ”
