It was the duel to follow on the French side. This Saturday evening, as part of the NBA regular season, the San Antonio Spurs beat the Minnesota Timberwolves (113-103). It is the frankness of Victor Wembanyama (17 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists) who therefore had the last word against that of Rudy Gobert (10 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist), who only spent 23 minutes on the floor. The Spurs now have three victories in six matches already played. The Washington Wizards lost at home against the Miami Heat (98-118). The French Bilal Coulibaly finished as his team's top scorer (22 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists). His compatriot and teammate Alexandre Sarr also shone (17 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists). In vain. The Philadelphia 76ers, still deprived of injured Joel Embiid and Paul George, fell again, at home, this time against the Memphis Grizzlies (107-124), despite their French Guerschon Yabusele (9 points, 3 rebounds). The Los Angeles Clippers lost their third consecutive game, against the Oklahoma City Thunder (92-105), still undefeated. Among the Clippers, Nicolas Batum finished with 4 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. Opposite, his compatriot Ousmane Dieng scored 3 points.
Lillard and Antetokounmpo were not enough for Milwaukee
The Phoenix Suns beat the Portland Trail Blazers (103-97). In Portland, the French Rayan Rupert finished with 2 points and 1 rebound. Finally, the Charlotte Hornets fell at home, against the Boston Celtics, defending champions (103-113). Among the locals, two Frenchmen played: Moussa Diabaté (1 point, 4 rebounds, 1 assist) and Tidjane Salaün (1 rebound). In other results of the evening, the Cleveland Cavaliers preserved their invincibility, narrowly, with seven victories in as many games already played. Their new victim, the Milwaukee Bucks, beaten 113-114, are sinking, recording their fifth defeat in a row. However, among the locals, two men were successful. They are the American Damian Lillard (41 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists) and the Greek Giannis Antetokounmpo (34 points, 16 rebounds, 9 assists). It wasn't enough, because Donovan Mitchell gave his team the victory, with less than a second remaining. The Denver Nuggets beat the Utah Jazz (129-103), who have six defeats in as many games already played. The locals were notably supported by their star Nikola Jokic (27 points, 16 rebounds, 9 assists). Finally, the Toronto Raptors needed an extension to overcome the Sacramento Kings (131-128). Same thing for the Golden State Warriors on the floor of the Houston Rockets (121-127).
