Pacers @ Sixers : 120-133
Pelicans @ Grizzlies : 114-141

Joel Embiid crushes the Pacers!

– Without mercy, Joel Embiid did not make the slightest gift to the Indiana Pacers (133-120). With 41 points and 20 rebounds, the Cameroonian carried the Philadelphia Sixers to victory. In addition to making an impression in the MVP race, the interior also takes a big step towards the title of top scorer.

In this game, the Sixers quickly widened the gap and then managed the proceedings. Oshae Brissett (20 marks) and Tyrese Haliburton (19 points) did their best to revive the Pacers, especially in the 3rd quarter.

But then Embiid and James Harden (22 points and 14 assists) mastered the endgame. In any case, with this victory, the Sixers now have the assurance of finishing in the Top 4.

41 PTS | 20 REB | 4 AST

we give you: the first and ONLY player in the NBA with a 40/20 game this season.

MVP Race Vol. 4: the struggle is crazy and gives us headaches

The Warriors respond to the Mavs

– In the fight for 3rd position in the West, the Golden State Warriors keep pace. Pressured by the Dallas Mavericks, the Californians responded on the floor of the San Antonio Spurs (100-94).

Sans Stephen Curry et Klay Thompson, the Dubs have yet displayed a big awkwardness at long distance. But Draymond Green (12 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists) perfectly played his leading role to accompany Jordan Poole (18 points at 3/19 on shots) and above all Jonathan Kuminga (18 points in 22 minutes).

Coming off the bench, Lonnie Walker IV (24 points) has long kept the Texans in the game. But serious in the money-time, Golden State chained a 4th success in a row.

Paul George has fun with the Kings

– The rise of Paul George before the Playoffs is going as planned. Against the Sacramento Kings (117-98), the winger had fun (23 points, 12 assists and 8 rebounds) to allow the victory of the Los Angeles Clippers.

Immediately in the right rhythm, the men of Tyronn Lue immediately created a gap to afford an easy meeting. Besides PG, Norman Powell (20 points) also took advantage of this match to find some rhythm.

In front, Davion Mitchell (22 points, 7 assists) and Trey Lyles (15 points, 6 rebounds) were the only ones to fight.

Memphis has fun for the return of Ja Morant

– For the great return of I Morant before the Playoffs, the Memphis Grizzlies outclassed the New Orleans Pelicans (141-114). In 27 minutes, the leader immediately announced the color with 21 points and 9 assists.

In a particularly successful team within the Tennessee franchise, Dillon Brooks (23 points), Brandon Clarke (20 marks) and Ziaire Williams (19 points) performed well. Despite CJ McCollum (16 points), the Pelicans have not been able to compete.

Note the terrible match of Jonas Valančiūnas against his ex-team: 6 minutes played because of 5 faults!
