Ninth win for the Lakers in the last 10 NBA games NEW YORK (UNITED STATES) (ITALPRESS) – Mission accomplished. The golden moment of the Lakers continues, sweeping away Cleveland 116-97, achieving their ninth success in the last 10 NBA games. The Cavs did badly, unable to put together two successes in a row since the end of February. At the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, the yellow and purple cling to the wonder trio of LeBron James (24 points and 12 assists), Anthony Davis (22 points, 13 assists and D’Angelo Russell (28 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assist) Taurean Prince also did well, 18 points with 7/8 shooting and 4/5 from three points.
Darius Garland’s 26 points and Caris LeVert’s 21 were not enough for Cleveland. For the Lakers it is overtaking Sacramento in eighth place in the West, with five games left until the end of the regular season. Taking advantage of a Joel Embiid in great shape, with 30 points and 12 assists, Philadelphia beats Memphis with a peremptory 116-96 and wins their third consecutive victory. The Grizzlies – who retired Marc Gasol’s number 33 shirt at the FedEx Forum during a pre-match ceremony – are not enough with the 24 points scored by Scotty Pippen Jr. While waiting for the big match against Minnesota, no problem for the Denver Nuggets, who return to the lead in the West by overwhelming the Atlanta Hawks 142-110. The reigning champions also took advantage of Jamal Murray’s return after 7 games (16 points in 21 minutes). Kentavious Caldwell-Pope did well (24 points), yet another triple double for Nikola Jokic. In a match of little importance in terms of the standings, Detroit suffers its fourth consecutive defeat: without Simone Fontecchio, still out, the Pistons fall against the Brooklyn Nets, led by Cam Thomas, 32 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. – photo Ipa Agency – (ITALPRESS). fsc/red 07-Apr-24 08:11 .
