The Dallas Mavericks inflicted a large defeat on the Los Angeles Clippers (144-126) on Friday in the NBA regular season. Luka Doncic, the star of the Texan franchise, shone with 44 points scored (17/21 shooting including 6/9 three-pointers) and Kyrie Irving was also decisive (27 pts). But above all, Dallas swept Los Angeles in the first period. Trailing 22-33 after 10 minutes of play, the “Mavs” broke loose, scoring a 32-2 to finally lead 54-35 (18th). K.O. standing, the Clippers never came back.
The Los Angeles Lakers had three defeats in a row. But they finally reacted on Friday, winning against the Phoenix Suns (122-119). The Californians were trailing by seven points at the start of the last quarter, before reversing the trend. LeBron James scored 32 points (11/17 shooting including 3/4 three-pointers) and grabbed 11 rebounds. Phoenix was once again playing without Devin Booker, who had a calf injury. Kevin Durant scored 38 points for the Suns (13/27 including 4/6 three-pointers).
The player: VanVleet decisive three points
The Houston Rockets won at home against the New Orleans Pelicans (104-101) and won a fifth consecutive victory. They can thank Fred VanVleet, their leader. The latter indeed scored two three-point shots in the last two minutes of the match. The first at 1’14” from the buzzer to return to 98-100. Then the second at 47”1 to take the advantage at 101-100. VanVleet, who arrived this season from Toronto, then made two free throws. And New Orleans did not know how to react.
