Stats & Highlights | Cavaliers come out on top, Bucks and Blazers all in control
December 18, 2022
Despite Kemba Walker’s very good game, the Mavericks fell to Cleveland without Luka Doncic. The Cavaliers thus chain a third victory in a row and display a perfect 5/5 in overtime this season.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had remained in the infirmary but the Bucks reacted, after the slap received against Memphis, with an authoritative victory against Utah. Finally, the Blazers got the better of clumsy Rockets.
LA Clippers–Washington San Antonio–Miami Oklahoma City–Memphis Phoenix–New Orleans
Cleveland – Dallas: 100-99 (after overtime)
Luka Doncic and Spencer Dinwiddie absent, it was Kemba Walker who carried the Mavericks with 32 points. The playmaker distinguished himself initially by sending the two teams into overtime.
Then by registering the first basket, a 3-pts, of these five additional minutes. Dallas’ only basket since Cleveland responds then Jarrett Allen scores a dunk, on a pass from Darius Garland, two minutes from the end, which will give the victory to his team. The Cavaliers defend and win.
Without Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton, this game against Utah was a trap for the Bucks. Bobby Portis started his teammates very well with 15 points in the first quarter before the Bucks made the difference in two sets.
Malik Beasley chained two award-winning baskets and equalized in the second quarter, Jrue Holiday reacted and scored 10 points in a row. The 2021 champions maintain that gap until the final quarter, where they drive home the point with a 13-0 to start it.
How could the Rockets hold on in this meeting by losing 15 balls and with an awful 3/29 at 3-pts? With their energy and their 18 offensive rebounds. The third quarter was particularly painful for the Texans and the gap rose to twenty points.
Clumsy, Damian Lillard was not in great shape with 25 points, Anfernee Simons much more with his 32 units, but Portland was forced to make the effort until the end because the Rockets will return to eleven points two minutes from the end. Chauncey Billups then recalls his incumbents, who will ensure the victory.
