The Los Angeles Lakers suffered a painful defeat at home in the battle for the NBA playoffs. With 112:108, New York’s basketball players were better, and even without Jalen Brunson, they ended their three-game losing streak.
The Jezerniks were sent a letter by their former basketball player Julius Randle and Josh Hart. Randle scored 25 of his 33 points in the first half, and Hart hit a key free throw with five seconds left. RJ Barrett scored 20 of his 30 points in the second half.
The Lakers missed the opportunity to reach 50% profit for the first time since the start of the season. Anthony Davis had 17 points and 16 rebounds, but missed 10 of 18 shots. “I played desperately. I couldn’t find the target. The boys did their job, I didn’t,” Davis took the blame.
Nuggets’ loss despite Jokić’s triple doubleWest-leading Denver also lost. With 122:120, Brooklyn celebrated its fifth victory in the last six meetings. He was the first shooter Mikal Bridges with 25 points, 20 of which were added by Nic Claxton, after 15 Dorian Finney Smith and Spencer Dinwiddie.
The Nuggets were not helped by their 27th triple-double of the season Nikola Jokić, who finished with 35 points, 20 rebounds and 11 assists. He missed the throw for the lead with five seconds left. “A heavy defeat,” said the home coach after the match Michael Malone: “Fathey fought and had a chance at the end, but were left empty-handed.“
He returned to the Denver team after an injury Vlatko Čančar and missed three shots in six minutes.
Dallas will host Memphis on Tuesday night. This time too, the injured person will be missing Luka Dončićbut the performance is questionable Kyrie Irving.
