NBA: Cavs back on track – Worries about King’s coach Joerger

The Cleveland Cavaliers are playing the best game in a long time against the Detroit pistons. The New Orleans Pelicans lose their first game after the injury of DeMarcus Cousins. In the kings, coach Dave Joerger collapses during the game and has to go to the cabin.

“I wish I could say something positive, but I can’t find anything,” said Mike D’ Antoni, summing up a game his team just had with 11 points. The demands are high in Houston. The Rockets lacked a little bit of energy and so the hosts missed out on getting things straight at an early stage. At the break for the Suns at 53:60 they didn’t see anything lost.

But then the Texans pulled up a little bit and raised it to 18 points, which made the guests visibly frustrated. Greg Monroe argued with the Refs at the end of the quarter until they put two technical fouls on the center and sent him to shower.

Tyson Chandler (11 points, 15 rebounds) played more minutes and scored a good double-double. Devin Booker (31.10 Assists) gave the point guard for the second time in a row and, with 21 points after the switch, ensured that the Suns were not shot down. T.J. Warren contributed another 24 points. Otherwise, there was not much going on with the guests. The performance of Josh Jackson, who actually managed to put all his 13 (!) throwing attempts on the ring, was symbolic.

So it didn’t matter that the rockets hit only about 30 percent of downtown (11/37 threesomes). The hosts marched 49 times to the free-throw line. Only the Sixers outbid Washington this season because the Wizards hacked Ben Simmons. Best Scorer Houstons was James Harden (27,10 Rebounds, 8 Assists) who missed a triple double. Chris Paul scored 17 points.

Trevor Ariza was already injured in the first minute on the thigh and never returned. It will be examined in more detail on Monday.

Play one after the injury of DeMarcus cousins for the Pels and it looked pretty good against a direct competitor for the playoffs in the first half. The hosts led with up to 21 points, despite the fact that Anthony Davis had only scored 6 points until the switch. But then the Clippers fought back and with a 29:15 quarter the guests were suddenly in front.

What followed was an exciting final phase in which Blake Griffin became the man of the day for Doc Rivers’ team. The Power Forward marked 18 of his 27 points after the break and pocketed the Dagger from outside to 108:102 on the clock for another 48 seconds,”We never had the feeling that this game was lost,”said Lou Williams (22), who was also a strong player.

The Pels didn’t really play badly, but always missed the start of the sections, which had consequences especially in the second half. There was also a shock moment in the fourth quarter, when Davis slipped on a drive and almost went down in a balancing act. The franchise player was treated after the match and did not speak to the media. Whether it will fail is still unclear.

He had played through the entire second half and scored 25 points and 17 rebounds. In addition, A. D. D. by Jrue Holiday (20,9 Rebounds, 7 Assists) and E’ Twaun Moore (18). At the Clippers, Griffin and Sweet Lou DeAndre Jordan (12,19 Rebounds) as well as Tyrone Wallace (19) were convincing.
