With a few weeks to go until the end of the regular season, the NBA will soon split into two distinct groups. On the one hand the short-term ambitious teams, whose goal is therefore to win games, we agree, and on the other a few franchises whose ambitions are clearly turned towards the Draft, all the more so in this year which should crown Victor Wembanyama with the status of first pick.
The results of the night
- Wizards – Pistons : 117-97 (stats)
- Hornets – Cavaliers : 104-120 (stats)
- Raptors – Nuggets : 125-110 (stats)
- Pelicans – Lakers : 108-123 (stats)
- Thunder – Nets : 121-107 (stats)
- Spurs – Magic : 132-114 (stats)
- Blazers – Knicks : 123-107 (stats)
- Suns – Bucks : 104-116 (stats)
Le Tankathon 2023
Good operation of the day – Magic, Hornets, Pistons: Triplet of defeats, and Victor Wembanyama who remains in sight. Special mention to Orlando who managed to lose to the Spurs, forcing them to a victory to put them away from Detroit and Houston. The Pistons got back on track after a win, nice idea.
Bad trade of the day – Spurs: winning is ugly in San Antonio in 2023. Yet Gregg Popovich’s team had no other choice against the Magic. Watch out for slacking off, don’t be too good… especially one month away from vacation.
