Friday evening was complicated for both Clint Capela and Kyshawn George. The Genevan and the Hawks lost by 17 points (119-102) against the Lakers, while the Valaisan and the Wizards suffered the law of the worst team in the NBA.
Clint Capela (8 points, 7 rebounds) and the Hawks suffered under the boards in Los Angeles. Atlanta players accumulated 39 catches compared to 56 for the Lakers. Anthony Davis was indeed dominant in the paint, with 19 rebounds.
LeBron James was not left out. The Lakers superstar scored 30 points, becoming the only record holder for the number of games with 30 points or more in the regular season (563), ahead of Michael Jordan (562). But “King James” needed 1,522 matches to reach this total, while the Bulls legend only played 1,072.
Beaten 132-120 in New Orleans, the Wizards of Kyshawn George (5 points and 5 rebounds Friday) came up against a CJ McCollum on fire: the guard scored 50 points. The Pelicans thus ended a series of 11 defeats to sign their 6th victory in 35 matches. The Wizards also have 6 successes in this 2024/25 financial year but have played three fewer games.
