Fallen on a Miles Bridges of the great evenings (38 points, including 22 in the only first half) on the side of the Hornets, the New Yorkers and Evan Fournier, very discreet (6 points to 2 of 9 on shots, 2 assists, 1 rebound), took the water from the start (34-23 in the first quarter) against the players of North Carolina, who thus restarted a series (the Hornets had chained four successes before losing at home against Orlando two days earlier). The Knicks, in the wake of the Barrett-Randle tandem (18 points each) reacted late in the game but in vain. At the opening of this MLK Day, a little earlier, Boston, for its part, had been very hot at home against the Pelicans, who led by 18 points before being knocked down (104-92) by Jayson Tatum (leading scorer of the match with 27 points) and his family, who thus sign their fifth victory in their last six outings. Stopped by Portland this weekend, Washington, for its part, returned to success in the third game of this evening by winning quite clearly on its floor (117-98) against Philadelphia, which had made the trip in the capital with the hope of lining up a third victory in a row.
Five in a row for Cleveland, Memphis restarts
Goal missed for the Sixers despite 32 points (8 rebounds, 1 assist) from Joel Embiid. The Wizards of Montrezl Harrell, author of 18 points, and Kyle Kuzma in all shots (15 points, 16 rebounds) led the dance all evening. Cleveland had more difficulty. It must be said that the Cavs, certainly in great shape (four wins in a row before Monday), received the third in the Brooklyn East Conference. Darius Garland (22 points, 12 assists) and his family took the opportunity to pass the fifth (114-107), against the Nets who discovered life without Kevin Durant, away for four to six weeks. The former leader, carried by his other stars James Harden (22 points, 10 assists) and Kyrie Irving (27 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds), believed in it until the very end of the game and two gifts that made the happiness of the fourth in the ranking. The Cavs come back to two losses from their opponent of the evening, who could experience a bad period without his best player. A bad pass, Chicago certainly knows one. Monday, traveling on the floor of Memphis, deprived this weekend by Dallas of a twelfth success in a row, the Bulls suffered their fourth defeat in a row despite the good performance of DeMar DeRozan (24 points). Desmond Bane (25 points) and the Grizzlies are gone.
