Stats & Highlights | The Pelicans still believe in it, the Wizards less and less

In order not to put themselves in danger, the Hawks had to win against the weak Pistons. They didn’t shake. On the other hand, for the Wizards, it’s starting to do a lot. This third straight loss pushes Washington to 2.5 wins from tenth place.

To still hope and achieve this feat, it would be necessary to finish the season as a cannonball. Except that Bradley Beal and his teammates are on six losses in seven matches…

This hope is still allowed in New Orleans since the Pelicans have dismissed the Spurs and tenth place, owned by Utah for the moment, is very close.

Brooklyn–Cleveland
Sacramento–Boston
LA Clippers–Oklahoma City

Orlando–Washington: 122-112

Too confident the Wizards? Maybe, because they hadn’t lost against the Magic since December 2020! Deprived of Kyle Kuzma, the players of the capital saw Franz Wagner score at 3-pts twice at the end of the first period, to give the advantage to Orlando.

Washington is still in the game in the third quarter and, after an award-winning basket from Kendrick Nunn, there is even a four-point difference at the start of the last. Franz Wagner went 6-0 on his own and the Wizards didn’t score for more than three minutes. Bradley Beal, he was out for six fouls before the end and Washington must bow.

Atlanta-Detroit: 129-107

With three losses in four games, the Hawks needed a victory to reassure themselves, and without Dejounte Murray, this reception from the Pistons was perfect to revive.

It took until the third quarter for the gap to be made. Trae Young scores a basket behind the arc, then Bogdan Bogdanovic imitates him three times and Atlanta goes 16-0. There are then 23 points difference and the Hawks only have to manage until the end.

New Orleans–San Antonio: 119-84

No problem for the Pelicans against Spurs. From the first quarter, the duo Brandon Ingram – CJ McCollum is illustrated in a 13-2. New Orleans drives the point home early in the next quarter, with a 10-2. There are 25 points difference at the break.

Brandon Ingram accelerated again after the break, with 16 points in the third quarter. The gap thus rises to 31 points and Willie Green’s men can quietly head for a second victory in a row, after that against the Rockets.
