How to defend on Victor Wembanyama according to the Pacers
– LeBron James became the second player in history to finish with a triple-double at age 40 or older, after Karl Malone. The King seems to have recharged his batteries during his day off, having gone to watch the Ohio Buckeyes US football team play in the playoffs in Atlanta. It was only Washington, which is now at 11 straight losses, but LeBron still compiled 21 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds, while having the action of the night in the NBA: this poster on alley-oop , pretty crazy for a forty-something!
Anthony Davis added 29 points and Dorian Finney-Smith 16. For the Wizards, Bilal Coulibaly showed his advantage with 17 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks. Alex Sarr He was in a block party (5 blocks) to accompany his 10 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. Below, the 7 combined blocks of the two Frenchmen from Washington.
-– Denver crushed Philadelphia, with a new triple-double in three quarters for Nikola Jokic (27 pts, 13 rebounds, 10 asts) to inflict a 7th defeat in a row on the Sixers, still deprived of Joel Embiid, Paul George and Kyle Lowry. Guerschon Yabusele made his return and stood out with 22 pts at 4/5 at 3 pts coming off the bench, to help Tyrese Maxey (28 pts, 10 asts). Julian Strawther scored 23 points for the Nuggets, also coming off the bench.
– The Knicks scared themselves a little in the New York derby. The match against the Nets was much closer than expected and Brooklyn even led by a small point with 5 minutes remaining. Jalen Brunson (17 pts) accelerated at the end of the game with several important baskets to support Karl-Anthony Towns (25 points, 16 rebounds) and OG Anunoby (20 points).
– The decline continues for Orlando, which lost a fourth game in a row and in rather shameful conditions. In Toronto, the Magic led by 21 points before being caught and clearly overtaken by the Raptors, who had never won this season after being led at halftime… Paolo Banchero’s 26 points and the fact to lead 32-11 from the start was not enough for the Floridians. This is the 6th defeat in 7 matches for Orlando, which is impatiently awaiting the return of Franz Wagner. Note that Jalen Suggs and Goga Bitadze were still not there, that Cole Anthony was ill and that Jonathan Isaac, also ill, played 4 minutes before leaving his partners.
– The last time the Blazers played in Miami, in March of last year, they lost by 60 points… Chauncey Billups’ players were therefore keen to rectify the situation and went on to achieve a convincing victory in Florida. The absence of Tyler Herro was penalizing for the Heat, who woke up too late in this meeting after being 21 points behind. Anfernee Simon (24 pts) and Deandre Ayton (22 pts, 15 rebounds) were the most prominent in Portland. Rookie Kel’el Ware shone again for Miami, with 20 points and 16 rebounds. Jimmy Butler, still not gone, scored 13 points.
