Extraordinary game by Anthony Davis with 55 points for the victory of the Lakers – MiSurDeportes

Sunday of 8 games and where the Celtics, Suns, Lakers and Pelicans continue their winning streaks, going 8-2 in their last ten games.

We started NBA day on Sunday with the game in which our name stood out: Anthony Davis. In Washington, the Lakers player jumped to 55 points to lead the gold and purple team to another win and had one of those historic nights, going 22-of-30 from the field, adding 17 rebounds. After watching him score 44 against the Bucks, Davis was close to his career-high 59 points which he scored in a distant 2016 against the Pistons.

Ham’s Angels led by 21 points in the first half, going up 85-56 to start the third quarter, but Los Angeles rallied to within nine points going into the fourth quarter. But Davis is in that form where it’s possible he can connect everything and his mobility and scoring at all levels make the Lakers player unstoppable. Now the Lakers are heading to Ohio to face the Cavs in an important duel for native LeBron James Akron, seeing the player fully involved in the rebirth of his Lakers.

From Davis to another first name, Jose Alvarado. The Puerto Rican-born New Yorker of the Pelicans stood out in the win against the Nuggets with 38 points and eight three-pointers, repeatedly setting up the Smoothie King Center and adding Louisina’s fourth straight win. The electric playmaker has already had a great first half with 19 points, but he didn’t stop adding during the second, in a match that left an interesting fight between Jokic and Valanciunas in the paint, seeing Zion in great form without anyone being able to to stop him (for a long time Gordon could do little against him), but Alvarado was that differential element for some Pelicans who are going further and who managed to recover McCollum yesterday.

«José, at that moment, heard that his number was being called and he had to play a game: do something. He did this and more. The shots he made were huge,” said Zion, who finished the game with 25 points. On the Colorado side, Jokic flirted with the triple double once again, finishing with 32 points, 16 rebounds and nine assists, but they weighed down the losses that put the Pels to 18 points, the local triples and the great help they had off the bench.

The Celtics came back to winning ways and stormed the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, also snapping the Nets’ hitting streak as they went on a four-game hitting streak. They were arguably the two fittest teams in the NBA, as the Nets had more wins in November than the Celtics. Brown was leading in the New York borough, but that defense that has so often dazzled lately in Massachusetts stood out, closing out a game like they did in the first round of last year’s playoffs.

Brown finished with 34 points and ten rebounds, with Tatum adding 29 and eleven rebounds. Mazzulla’s men played without Smart, with a hip problem, but even without last year’s best defender, they put in a formidable performance from that side of the pitch. The Celtics have begun a six-game road trip out of Boston, now headed to North Carolina to face the Hornets on Monday.

And in the final game of the day, Lillard ran back to the Trail Blazers and 28 points from Jerami Grant to beat the Pacers and get some air. The star, in his return, had 21 points and dished out six assists after being absent since November 19. With his return, the Oregon team maintained control throughout the moment of some Pacers who choked on the tour of the West and the Pacific, adding the third loss in a row and adding that yesterday they could not count on their big star , Tyrese Haliburton, due to a groin injury (Carlisle commented that he won’t even be against the Warriors in San Francisco on Monday). Great ball movement by the Billiups team and a lot of success from the triple, connecting a 17 of 40 from three points.
