Basketball Nba: Doncic beats LeBron, Dallas hits Los Angeles. Overwhelming clippers

WASHINGTON – LeBron James against Luka Doncic, Anthony Davis against Kristaps Porzingis. At the Staples Center in Los Angeles it is Lakers (17-3) against Dallas (13-6) and the big match of the Nba night brings him home the Mavericks 114-100 at the end of a practically perfect race. After 10 games the unbeaten record of the best League team hit by the Slovenian triple-scented cyclone with its 27 points, 10 assists and 9 rebounds falls. The Prescelto (25 points, 8 assists and 9 rebounds) and the former Pelicans (27 points and 10 rebounds) did theirs, but the Californians lacked the contribution of Kyle Kuzma (4 points in 21 ′), not received .

LeBron and Davis are not enough, cyclone Doncic

Dallas won it with intelligence and tactics. Coach Carlisle prepared it well for the Lakers champions with a European-style, defensive and choral basketball. So when at the beginning of the game LeBron and Davis gave vent to their inspiration, the Mavs kept a blow by closing the first partial delay of 5 lengths (30-25). Everything seems to be going according to plan in the yellow-and-green house with a first quarter closed with 52% from the field, but in the second part there are the Texans who put their heads out for the first time (39-41). The plays of James and Davis hide the difficulties in defense of Kuzma and we arrive at the long rest on the 62-59 for the hosts. In the second half Doncic rises to the chair and Dallas overwhelms the gialloviola who go under even 20 lengths (67-87) and then raise the white flag in the last quarter. A victory that consecrates the Mavs, now more than ever certain of having a say in their playoffs.

Lou Williams (Clippers)

The fantastic 4 drag the Clippers

The other half of Los Angeles smiles instead. The Clippers (15-6), after the sensational defeat against San Antonio, needed a showdown and so it was, because against Washington (6-12), beaten 150-125, the Californians closed the first half with 82 points, franchise record, thanks to his fantastic four: Paul George scored 27 of his 31 final points in the first two quarters, Kawhi Leonard closes with 34 points, Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrel (both off the bench) go to the scoresheet respectively with 22 and 23 points. From the partial 43-22 in the second quarter, the race was a long offensive show involving all Los Angeles players, which closes with over 55% from the field and 43% from the arc. The Wizards at the fourth defeat in the last five games, can settle for the Japanese rookie Rui Hachimura, author of 30 points, his career maximum.

Danilo Gallinari

Gallinari still beats Melli

He has seen so many Chris Paul in his career that, 5 ′ from the end against New Orleans (6-14), it was enough for him to go back in time and draw from his memory the dozens of similar situations in which he always managed to make the difference . Below 5 lengths to 300 seconds from the siren, Oklahoma City (8-11) overturned the score (107-104) by placing a 12-0 partial, seven of which carry the signature of CP3 (16 in total in the match). Targets that make the 26 of Jrue Holiday and the 20 of Brandon Ingram useless, with the Pelicans collecting the fifth defeat in a row. The Thunder's best scorer is Danilo Gallinari, who finishes in a double-double with 23 points, 11 rebounds, 8/14 from the field, 4/7 from the arc, 3 assists and an eloquent +16 plus / minus. In such a hard-fought race, his presence on the parquet made the difference in many situations. A great sign for him and OKC. Six points on the scoresheet and two more triple goals in the season for Nicolò Melli, once again used by coach Gentry on the bench for a quarter of an hour against opposing reserves.

San Antonio Spurs swept away in Detroit

Batosta resounding for the San Antonio Spurs (7-14), swept 132-98 by the Detroit Pistons (7-13) and sentenced to collect the 11th defeat in the last 13 races. Merit of a very prolific bench of the hosts (75 points with 67% shooting) and in particular of an inspired Christian Wood – author of 28 points in 22 minutes, his new career maximum. Drummond and Griffin remain on the parquet the bare essentials, before enjoying a well-deserved fourth rest period. Six points in 15 minutes for Marco Belinelli coming off the bench, popped up and not as incisive as all of San Antonio in this nightmare month. The Spurs don't go beyond the 20 points of DeMar DeRozan (to target also the second triple of his season), slipping more and more distant from that zone playoff that for over 20 years has been for the Texans a pleasant habit.

Kemba Walker (Boston)

Ok Boston, Miami and Toronto

Boston goes home to the New York Knicks (4-16) after suffering three quarters of the race, then a 12-0 run in the last quarter allows the Celtics (14-5) to break out of Madison Square Garden 113- 104. The Tatum-Brown pair was decisive with 58 points overall. It doesn't go better in Brooklyn (10-10) which is defeated at the Barclays Center by the Miami Heat (14-5) for 109-106. Like the Knicks' cousins, the Nets also waste everything in the last quarter, or better in the last 105 ", when Butler (20 points) takes back the disadvantage of seven lengths and gives the Heat success. Without the rookie Ja Morant, Memphis (6-13) passes to Minneapolis beating Minnesota (10-9) 115-107, 26 points for Brooks who wins the challenge at a distance with Towns, author of 21 points. Successes for Toronto and Orlando. The Raptors (15-4) continue their home ride where in this season they have never lost by beating the Utah Jazz 130-110 (12-8). The Magic, instead, take advantage of the horrible beginning of the season of Golden State (4-17) winning at home 100 -96.

The results – New Orleans Pelicans-Oklahoma City Thunder 104-107; Detroit Pistons-San Antonio Spurs 132-98; Los Angeles Lakers-Dallas Mavericks 100-114; THERE. Clippers-Washington Wizards 150-125; Brooklyn Nets-Miami Heat 106-109; New York Knicks-Boston Celtics 104-113; Minnesota Timberwolves-Memphis Grizzlies 107-115; Orlando Magic-Golden State Warriors 100-96; Toronto Raptors-Utah Jazz 130-110.
