2 games were played tonight (Tuesday through Wednesday) at the NBA when the main game was Utah's great victory (sixth in a row of the Jazz) over New Orleans and Zion Williamson.
Utah Jazz (4:10) - New Orleans Pelicans (8: 5) 102: 118
A sixth straight win for the Jazz after another tremendous display of threes that erased a wonderful display from Zion Williamson.
In the first half the big man of the Pelicans and his friends still gave a fight but then the host started to score a wonderful percentage and left her opponent no chance to come up with anything.
Donovan Mitchell finished with 28 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, Jordan Clarkson added 18 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists while Joe Ingles added 15 and Rudy Gober contributed 13 of his own along with 18 rebounds.
For the loser, Zion finished with 32, Brandon Ingram added 17 and Eric Baldesso contributed just 9 points.
Denver Nuggets (7: 7) - Oklahoma City Thunder (7: 6) 101: 119
On an excellent night for Nikola Jokic and as he goes down to the bench for the entire fourth quarter, there was no doubt about the winning identity already from the opening whistle.
The Serbian giant finished with 27 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, Monte Morris added 15 of his own while Paul Millsap and Will Burton finished with 13 each.
Jamal Marie contributed just 5 points.
At the loser, Logenetsz Dort finished as the leading scorer with 20 points and Shay Gilges Alexander added 14.
