Hot Gary Trent Jr.’s Raptors end Hawks’ streak | NBA

Despite the fatigue linked to their recent marathon ended in triple overtime in Miami, the Raptors have found the resources to continue on the floor of the Hawks. The latter, who remained on a series of seven consecutive successes, were deprived of Trae Young, on the sidelines due to shoulder pain. His absence did not prevent Atlanta from staying in touch with the Raptors throughout this hotly contested meeting. Taking advantage of a De'Andre Hunter – Kevin Huerter tandem in form, Atlanta even took the lead at the break (57-48) after a controlled second quarter. The locals had a lot more trouble containing the Canadian attack in the third act (15-32 in favor of the Raptors), like a Gary Trent Jr. on fire behind the 3-point line. He scored an award-winning shot at the buzzer to ...

Season over for Joe Ingles | NBA

Already deprived of Rudy Gobert (calf) and Donovan Mitchell (head shock), the Jazz lived a nightmarish evening in Minnesota when, at the end of the second quarter, it was veteran Joe Ingles who collapsed after a left knee injury. As with any non-contact injury, it was obviously very worrying, especially for a 34-year-old coming out of an Olympic summer with Australia's first international medal. Unfortunately, the MRI delivered his diagnosis: rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee. According to ESPN, the Australian will be operated on within 15 days, and his season is already over. As he is at the end of his contract, it is not certain that we will see him again at the Jazz, or even in the NBA next season. At Utah for eight seasons, Ingles is one of the team'...

Lakers frustrated with inability to kill games | NBA

Two weeks before the “trade deadline”, the Lakers are still navigating in troubled waters. Beaten this Sunday by the Hawks and currently on a series of three consecutive defeats, they thus remain ranked in 9th place in the Western Conference, especially plunging more into the negative (24 wins – 27 losses). Inevitably, the Californian faces were closed in the post-match interview, at the end of this umpteenth setback conceded after a collective collapse. Because it is indeed the 12th time of the season (in 51 games) that the "Purple & Gold" bowed having counted at least 10 points in advance in the game! No other team has done worse in the league. « We are frustrated, because we were supposed to win this game », also regretted Anthony Davis (27 points), afterwards. " It was our ...

10 out of 10 for stunning Suns against Spurs | NBA

While waiting for the return to business of Deandre Ayton, but also of Jae Crowder, the Suns did the job without shaking last night against San Antonio (115-110). Chris Paul (20 points, 19 assists, 8 rebounds) and Devin Booker (28 points) have been faithful to the position, as has Mikal Bridges (26 points) who achieved his best mark of the season. Trailing for most of the game, Phoenix managed to regain the upper hand in the last quarter, thanks to the contribution of Cam Johnson and two consecutive shots "clutches" from Devin Booker. Despite the heroic resistance of the Spurs, Phoenix therefore pocketed a 40th victory this season, the 10th in a row, which ensured Monty Williams and his staff to represent the Western Conference at the next All Star Game in Cleveland on February ...

Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets in demonstration in Milwaukee: + 36! | NBA

Halfway through the first quarter, the ten starters have all scored and Denver has a very narrow lead (14-12). The rest of the quarter is just as pleasant and balanced, and we remember several things: the Bucks dominate under the panels (18 points in the racket), which is logical when we have Giannis Antetokounmpo in his ranks, the Nuggets are already skillful from afar (6/14), and especially Nikola Jokic is already monumental after 12 minutes (6 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals!). At the start of the second quarter, the Nuggets lead by 3 small points and stabilize this lead for several minutes thanks to the contribution of their bench, Bones Hyland, Bryn Forbes and JaMychal Green in the lead. After 6 minutes in this second act, Giannis is already at 14 points and comp...

Tom Thibodeau does not count on Cam Reddish | NBA

Cam Reddish was warned: on his arrival in New York, after his desired departure from Atlanta, Tom Thibodeau had made him no promises. Two weeks later, the player has played little in his new colors and the situation is clear. Reddish, who has only 15 total minutes with the Knicks, is not part of the coach's plans at this time. “We talked about all that. We love him and we appreciate his talent.”, begins the coach for the New York Post. “The season is long. We knew that we had transferred a player who would not be in the rotation because we cannot add him without removing someone. There may be injuries, so you have to be patient. » Thibodeau therefore clings to his rotation of ten players. And only transfers like those mentioned from Kemba Walker, Evan Fournier or Alec Burks ...

All-Star Game: Andrew Wiggins responds to the controversy over his selection | NBA

Like Ja Morant, Andrew Wiggins picked up his first All-Star Game selection, but unlike the Grizzlies point guard, the Warriors winger isn't unanimous. For many, he took the place of Chris Paul or Devin Booker, and he owes his selection to an influx of votes from Korea. But Wiggins doesn't care. “It has been a long road to get here. I've been through a lot of ups and downs. I come here to play, then I go home to play with my children, then I go to bed. In this order. I play basketball, and I don't care about outside noise. I'm here to improve myself again and again. Everyone will have their say, but I take it as an additional motivation to progress and improve further. » “He was everywhere in defense. In attack, he is our most consistent player. Against the Nets, Wiggin...
