Seeing him play, seeing him do his magic, imagining and executing those trajectories that are impossible for anyone else to shoot, is like seeing Picasso painting one of his masterpieces. Steph Curry returns to enchant: he does it against Denver, slipping 32 points on the first night in which Warriors fans are admitted to the Chase Center, an exhibition of all his incredible wonders for the audience that has virtually applauded him in the last month while playing the best basketball of his career. It was Steph who made the difference in the second half, launching the Warriors (30-30) to an important victory to resume the race at PlayIn and inflicting Denver (38-21) the first defeat after 4 wins. Last time they were in San Francisco, the Nuggets had lost Jamal Murray for the season. This time Will Barton stopped, ended up in the locker room after not even a minute of play for a hamstring strain and estrus. For the Warriors, in addition to Steph, Draymond Green’s marvelous game, which equaled his career high in assist voice (19). The supporting cast also did well, with Kelly Oubre who put in grit and play. Denver is as if she was left in shock after Barton’s injury. Jokic (19 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists) was normal when he would have served in a driving version, Aaron Gordon gave a hand without overdoing it. The best was Michael Porter Jr, but his 26 points with 7 triples weren’t enough to remove some grayness from a team limited in attack at 38.6% from the field and unable in defense to find the right man to try at least to make life difficult for Curry.

Brooklyn Nets-Boston Celtics

Despite an infirmary that does not want to empty itself, the Nets (40-20) manage to overcome the Celtics (32-28) 109-104 and return to the top of the Eastern Conference. The reflections on a chemistry still to be tested in the playoff perspective for a team that has seen its “Big Three” play only seven games together in this championship are more than legitimate, in the meantime, however, Brooklyn sends signals to the NBA by beating Boston, back from seven victories in the last eight races, not only without being able to count on Kevin Durant and James Harden, but also with a Kyrie Irving who closes with a very bad 4/19 from the field.

Of course, the Celtics also have to pay duty to the injured, with Kemba Walker and Jaylen Brown at the post, but Steve Nash finds the offensive production of several elements, starting with the always reliable Joe Harris (20 points) and Jeff Green (19) and even manages to motivate Kyrie Irving to give it all, which is quite rare, on a defensive level. The latest addition Mike James is also immediately appreciated. The former Olimpia Milano and Cska Mosca lives a day in some ways surreal, signs his new contract with the Nets in the morning, meets his teammates and technical staff for the first time in the pre-match and then gives his contribution on the parquet by putting eight on the scoresheet. points and two assists in 21 ‘of play, with an excellent +17 of +/-, showing that he is definitely at ease in a context that is certainly not easy.

Harris’ triple and Green’s transition dunk, however, put things right for the New York team. “We have done many positive things – underlines at the end the coach of the Nets Steve Nash – and also some mistakes. I am proud of the guys, despite the absences and tiredness they produced a very good performance ”. Brooklyn manages to keep the pace high and in the end scores 32 points on the counterattack against the zero of the visiting team, a statistic that satisfies the New York coaching staff. “Their transition made us very bad – says Brad Stevens – mainly due to our turnover. We certainly had to raise the pace too and we didn’t ”.
