After the Bucks yesterday, today it was the turn of the Lakers. The two dominant women of the NBA surprisingly fell one after the other, in the last two championship rounds.
Tonight the Californians were negative protagonists of an evening that started badly against the Indiana Pacers, given that they went on the field without injured Anthony Davis and they could count on a Lebron James not at his best and standing at 20 points. Moral of the story, the Pacers won 105-102, also dragged by a super Sabonis (26 points and 10 rebounds).
But as for the Bucks, defeated yesterday by the Mavericks, the KO of the Lakers - which interrupted a streak of 14 victories in a row away - has no ranking consequences, and the team of Lebron James remains firmly in command of the Western Conference, also if the Clippers cousins gain ground, taking second place and winners coming out tonight for 120-99 from the challenge with the Phoenix Suns.
In the other matches of this round there is the defeat of New Orleans Pelicans, the team of Nicolò Melli, beaten at home by the Nets overtime for 108-101, few minutes of competition for the blue. Turning points between the New York Knicks and Atlanta Hawks, the race ended 143-120 for the first. Finally victory on the friendly field for the Hornets, 110-102 on the Kings
