The Los Angeles Lakers won 0.6 seconds to go, thanks to two free throws from Brook Lopez. The New Orleans Pelicans have no problems in Sacramento, but Anthony Davis has to get hurt again.
The Jazz remained in the playoff race and won the last strong Pacers without any problems. Rudy Gobert outran the other side with a strong defense and scored 23 points (10/14 FG). We just play with each other,”the Frenchman explained the strong form of his team.
After a weak start, the Jazz had everything under control and set themselves apart for the first time with a 28:12 run. This lead claimed Utah over the entire game and the strong final quarter (25:15) eliminated all doubts. Indiana was only 38.6 percent of the litter quota approved, and nothing at all came from the perimeter for the Pacers (3/23 threesomes).
Especially Victor Oladipo (13.6/19 FG) was almost completely cold-set, and the 24 Myles Turner points didn’t help much either.”Utah is a good defensive team,” Pacers coach Nate McMillan praised the fact that they didn’t allow anything at all, we didn’t get any open throws and they pushed their pace.”
Of course, if Utah had a tempo, it was Donovan Mitchell, who scored well with 10 points in the first quarter, but then slowed down a bit. At the end there were still 20 points and 6 assists. Joe Ingles (11) even played 10 direct submissions to score a double-double.
The Chicago Bulls beat the Memphis Grizzlies in their own arena with a commanding victory. Meanwhile, the Bulls already led with 21 points, but the grizzlies made the game exciting and came back in the last quarter. Memphis was borne by Rookie Dillon Brooks (29 points), who scored a whopping 20 points in the fourth section.
Although the grizzlies came close to a score six minutes before the end, the Bulls never gave up their lead and ended the game with a 10-2 run. Kris Dunn (21 points, 9 assists), who scored 11 points in the last quarter, and Zach LaVine (21.5 dimes) secured victory on the Charity Line. The Bulls’ top scorer was Rookie Lauri Markkanen (22.6 rebounds), while Paul Zipser was not used. In the grizzlies Brooks was supported by Marc Gasol (17.7 Assists, 6 Rebounds) and Ben McLemore (17.7 Boards).
Bulls-Coach Fred Hoiberg abandoned Center Brook Lopez even after threatening a ban. In the night from Friday to Saturday he will start against the Detroit pistons.
