We thought that the Bucks, winners of the NBA Cup, had launched their season, but last night, they suffered the most surprising setback, losing 113-110 at home against the Nets who frankly no longer have much -thing to play. A defeat down to the wire after a completely crazy last quarter!
Facing the Bucks at full strength, Cameron Johnson's Nets (26 points) were up to 24 points ahead, and they still led by 21 points with less than 7 minutes remaining. And there, it's a complete black hole!
The Bucks go 20-0, and the Nets won't score a single basket until the end of the match! There are then 37 seconds left to play… and Jalen Wilson loses a ball. The ball goes to the Bucks, and they have the opportunity to move ahead. But Giannis Antetokounmpo, then Damian Lillard missed, and it was finally Ziaire Williams who scored the winning free throws. For a third victory in four games against the Bucks this season…
LeBron James: 38 points at 40
For the Lakers, it was a little less tense but Anfernee Simons' partners believed in it until the end…
Facing Californians deprived of Anthony Davis, the Blazers will partly erase a 13-point gap in the last six minutes. Deni Avdija and Shaedon Sharpe lend a hand to Simons, and the latter plants a 3-pointer to get back to three units (103-100) two minutes from the end. Moment chosen by LeBron James (38 points, 8 assists) to close the deal. A basket near the circle, then a 3-point step-back, and all of Los Angeles breathes easier.
Miami – Indiana
OKC – LA Clippers
Minnesota–Boston
Golden State – Philadelphia
Milwaukee – Nets: 110-113
