A night marked by the SHOCK between Celtics and Cavaliers, won by the reigning champions in their den, but also a night that will be remembered for Russell Westbrook and his 200th career triple-double. And finally, a night that Dalton Knecht will also remember. You will understand, it's time for the NBA summary of the night.
NBA results of the night
- Celtics – Cavaliers : 120-117 (stats)
- Nets – Hornets : 116-115 (stats)
- Grizzlies – Nuggets : 122-110 (stats)
- Mavericks – Pelicans : 132 – 91 (stats)
- Spurs – Thunder : 110 – 104 (stats)
- Lakers – Jazz : 124-118 (stats)
What to remember
- Huge shock in the East, between the Cavaliers, undefeated since the start of the season, and the reigning champion Celtics. A duel which turned in favor of Boston, imperial in the first half and solid enough to resist Cleveland's comeback in the second part of the match. Reigning champion mentality.
- Tidjane Salaün in good shape, but the Hornets lost by a short header to the Nets.
- A somewhat random match between Grizzlies and Nuggets, but a match which allowed Russell Westbrook to validate his 200th career triple-double. Unprecedented in the NBA!
- Return of Luka Doncic (26 points) and big victory for the Mavericks against the Pelicans still decimated by injuries.
- Without Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs surprise a back-to-back Thunder.
- The Lakers offer themselves the Jazz and a huge show from Dalton Knecht: 37 points at 9/12 from the parking lot for the rookie from Los Angeles!
The French of the night
- Victor Wembanyama absent (illness and knee pain).
- Sidy Cissoko did not play
- Tidjane Salaün scored 11 points on 2/2 shooting, 6/7 shooting, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 interception against the Nets.
