Stats & Highlights | Zach LaVine reacts, Bucks drive home

The Magic could not make the double against the Bulls. Already because the Floridians were deprived of Evan Fournier and also because Zach LaVine was in great shape.

The Bucks had no problem beating the Cavaliers again. They even lived almost the same match as the first, dominating especially after returning from the locker room.

Finally, the Thunder experienced the roller coaster (big first period, bad third quarter) to finally dismiss the Wolves, who had imposed on the wire the day before.

Orlando – Chicago : 92-118

The day before, the Bulls had suffered the law of Nikola Vucevic (43 points) in the first leg. This second leg was Zach LaVine’s, 39 points. With the back on the floor, Chicago totally dominated the debates, facing a private Florida team from Evan Fournier.

The two teams were tied until the start of the second quarter, then Billy Donovan’s men went 25-8 in nine minutes. They drive home the point in the third quarter with long shots. In this area, Orlando has never found the target (6/27 to 3-pts) and must logically bow.

Cleveland – Milwaukee : 99-124

Like in Act 1, it took a while for the Bucks to push the Cavaliers aside. In the first game, lacking rhythm after a delayed trip to Ohio, they had made the difference in the last quarter. There they started in the third act.

Very clever, Giannis Antetokounmpo and company accelerated with a 42-18 in the second half and largely benefited from the awkwardness to 3-points of the troops of JB Bickerstaff.

Oklahoma City – Minnesota : 120-118

The Thunder thought they had done most of the work in the first half, with 83 points scored! Wolves were overwhelmed from the start, conceding a 10-0 to start, and seeing Oklahoma City go twice in two quarters 40 points or more.

Then, after the break, there is a reaction. The Thunder becomes voiceless in the third quarter, with 13 small points scored. Over the minutes, the Wolves come back and even pass in front after a basket from Jaden McDaniels in the last quarter. We then enter a duel (where Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shines) finally won by OKC, after a shot by Darius Bazley 76 seconds from time. One way to respond to D’Angelo Russell’s winning shot the day before.
