A match point for Coulibaly but Washington beaten in overtime by Brunson's 55 points

The Washington Wizards came close to bagging two wins in a row for only the second time this season. After achieving a double against the Atlanta Hawks at the very start of the season, the partners of Bilal Coulibaly et Alexandre Sarr almost won the New York Knicks, after beating the Charlotte Hornets. But they finally had to lose in overtime (132-136) notably against the 55 points of the New York star, Jalen Brunson.

Bilal Coulibaly had the winning shot

In the absence of their major player Jordan Poole, the two Tricolores nevertheless worked hard to allow Washington to pocket a 6th victory this season. Bilal Coulibaly (2.03 m, 20 years old), author once again of a very complete match with nice flashes of game vision (18 points at 8/17 on shots, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 interceptions and 1 against for 2 lost balls), could even have given victory to his team at the end of regulation time. The native of Saint-Cloud, however, missed his shot from mid-distance.

But his defensive mission on Jalen Brunson was much more complex, the former Dallas Mavericks player having delivered his second best offensive performance in his NBA career (55 points at 18/31 on shots and 16/17 on LFs).

For Alexandre Sarr (2.16 m, 19 years old), clumsiness still predominates his game (12 points at 3/10 on shots), while having added 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block for 2 lost balls in 32 minutes game.

Things are going well for Zaccharie Risacher and the Hawks

And Zaccharie Risacher also always has moments of absence in terms of his address, but this is not reflected in the results of the Atlanta Hawks. Like the Sixers of Guerschon Yabusele (2.01 m, 29 years old), the latter scored a third victory in a row against Miami (120-110). The former JL Bourg and ASVEL player scored 9 points on 4/12 shots, also with 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 lost ball in 27 minutes of play.

10 victories in a row for Ousmane Dieng's Thunder

Finally, the Charlotte Hornets of Tidjane Salaün et Moussa Diabaté were unable to do anything against one of the most fit teams in the NBA, the Oklahoma City Thunder (106-94). The franchise ofOusmane Dieng (0 points to 0/2 on shots in 7 minutes) scored a 10th consecutive victory. Despite his use off the bench, Tidjane Salaün (2.05 m, 19 years old) benefited from 31 minutes of play, resulting in 9 points at 3/10 on shots, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 interception and 1 block for 1 ball lost. His colleague Moussa Diabaté (2.08 m, 22 years old) cannot say the same, with 13 minutes of play for 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 interceptions and 1 lost ball.
