The big names held their place last night, starting with the outgoing champions of Denver, still undefeated in the West after their success against Utah. Ditto for the C’s in the East. Victory also for Dallas, Milwaukee or the Lakers.
The defending champion Denver and his Serbian pivot Nikola Jokic, author of the 107th triple double of his career, continued their perfect start to the NBA season on Monday evening, recording a fourth victory in four matches against the Utah Jazz (110-102 ). Thanks to his second triple double of the season (27 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists), Jokic is now tied with LeBron James and Jason Kidd for fourth place among players having achieved the most in NBA history.
Another still undefeated team led by a European, the Dallas Mavericks recorded a third victory by winning 125-110 in Memphis, behind their Slovenian leader Luka Doncic who also saw triples (35 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists) and started the season with a bang (39 points on average in three games). The Grizzlies are also part of the last two teams without a victory with Houston. Stephen Curry, for his part, recorded his second game with more than 40 points, bringing his Warriors to a third victory in four matches in New Orleans (130-102), with 42 points (15/22 on shots, including 7/ 13 three-pointers).
Boston OK, Milwaukee plays to scare each other
In the Eastern Conference, Boston maintained its invincibility thanks to its duo Jaylen Brown (36 points)-Jayson Tatum (33 points), and won 126-107 in Washington. The Bucks of Giannis Antetokounmpo (33 points) and Damian Lillard (25 points) dismissed Miami at home 122-114, despite the 35 points signed by Tyler Herro for the Heat. A match in which Milwaukee led by 25 points before having a scare, the visitors falling to -6 with 1’22 to play (115-109). Antetokounmpo ended the suspense with a three-point action six seconds later.
Also note, the difficult victory of the Lakers of Anthony Davis (26 points, 19 rebounds) and LeBron James (19 points) 106-103 in their room against the Orlando Magic, thanks in particular to a great end to the match from their leader D’Angelo Russell (28 points, including 12 in the last quarter). Despite the double-double of Rudy Gobert (14 points and 13 rebounds) and the 31 points of Anthony Edwards, the Timberwolves suffered the law of the Hawks (127-113) of Dejounte Murray (41 points). Portland, Brooklyn, Chicago and Oklahoma City are the other winners of the day within the Association.

SEATTLE – Pac-12 play rolls on for Husky women’s soccer as Washington hosts a pair of top-10 foes during the week, starting with defending nation champion and fourth-ranked UCLA Thursday night at Husky Soccer Stadium.
The match, set for a 7 p.m. PT kickoff, will be the Huskies’ Dawg Pack Night, with current UW students in attendance receiving a free Dawg Pack t-shirt.
The matchup will be aired nationally across the Pac-12 Family of Networks, hitting your TV set via the main Pac-12 Network channel as well as Pac-12 Washington and Pac-12 Los Angeles. Links to live coverage can be found above and on the schedule page at GoHuskies.com.
SCOUTING UCLA
The Bruins are in their second season under the direction of Margueritte Aozasa, who led UCLA to its second-ever NCAA Championship in her first season at the helm of the program. Prior to moving to Westwood, Aozasa was an assistant coach at Stanford from 2015-21.
Ranked No. XX in the United Soccer Coaches Poll, UCLA is 7-1-0 entering Thursday’s matchup, coming off of a 3-1 victory over No. 20 Colorado that snapped the Buffaloes’ seven-match winning streak.
The defending Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week, Ally Cook leads the Bruins with five goals on the season, one ahead of Sunshine Fontes. Reilyn Turner and America Frias are tied for the team lead with three assists apiece.
Neeku Purcell has started all eight matches for the Bruins, playing all but 10 minutes in goal. Purcell owns a 0.63 GAA and a .667 save percentage, facing just 15 shots on goal while locking down five clean sheets.
SERIES HISTORY
Washington will be looking to overturn a seven-match losing streak to the Bruins on Thursday, last defeating UCLA by a 2-1 score line in Seattle in 2015. UCLA leads the all-time series 23-4-2.
LAST MEETING (10/30/22)
THE ANGELS – A trio of second half goals were too much for Washington Dropping its match at No. 1 UCLA (17-1-0, 9-1-0 Pac-12) 3-0 Sunday afternoon.
Summer Yates was unlucky not to give the Huskies a lead within the first two minutes of the match, with her volleyed shot clattering off the left post and staying out as it struck UCLA keeper Lauren Brzykcy.
From there, Washington stuck in defensively, fending off a bevy of Bruin attacks to keep the match scoreless heading into the halftime break.
The Bruins, however, took the lead early in the second half, with Ally Cook finishing from close range to put the home side up 1-0 in the 49th minute.
A few minutes later, Quincy McMahon unleashed a wicked long-distance strike that gave Olivia Sekany no chance to save, doubling the UCLA advantage in the 56th minute.
The Huskies kept up the fight but were unable to break through the stout Bruins defense and Jackie Gilday scored a long distance goal in the 88th minute, capping off the win for UCLA.
WHEN OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS
After playing 29 total minutes as a freshman a year ago, defender Lucy Newlin has been subbed out of just one match this season, leading UW with 798 minutes.
YOU SHALL NOT PASS

MONTLAKE MAGIC

YOU CAN FIND ME IN DA CLUB
Among Washington’s 15 newcomers for the 2023 season is sophomore Avery Nguyen, who was offered a roster spot during preseason training after a trial.

One of the great storylines of the tournament, Cowart started all three matches of the group stage as the Philippines made its first-ever World Cup appearance.
FOR DAWGS AND COUNTRY

three days later elimination in the Eastern Conference final of the NBA play-offs against the Miami Heat, the Boston Celtics announced Thursday that their young coach Joe Mazzulla will remain in place for the next season. “I think he did a great job with this group“, justified the president of the franchise, Brad Stevens. “He’s a real leader. He can only get better after everything he’s been through this year, because he’s constantly trying to learn and he’s responsible. These qualities are hard to find.»
Aged 34, Mazzulla remains on a heavy defeat, conceded at home in the decisive match N.7 (103-84) which shattered the dream of an unprecedented comeback since his team had returned to 3-3 in the series after being down 3-0. In 151 occasions now, no team has managed to win the best of seven matches after having suffered such a deficit. “Everyone will overreact to top players and coaches after such a game. It’s always like that. But we must be able to judge things as a whole. Our players and staff believe in him and we have to do everything we can to support him.“argued Stevens.

Youngest head coach in the NBA
This failure was likely to weaken the position of Mazzulla, who became the youngest head coach in the NBA when he took over the reins of Boston at the start of the season, replacing Ime Udoka, for whom he was assistant. Udoka was first suspended for an inappropriate relationship with a franchise employee and then fired a few months later.
If Mazzulla could not bring the Massachusetts team to the final, a year after the failure against Golden State, the young coach finished his first regular season with a record of 57 wins and 25 losses, in second place in the standings. in the East behind the Milwaukee Bucks. And will not ultimately be far from a first final, at the head of the C’s.
