Basketball: the NBA heats up, Clippers immediately highlighted

The NBA returned to the field in the Italian night, after 133 days of stop due to the pandemic. In the Orlando, Florida bubble, the first friendly games were played, in all there are 33 of them, before the actual championship begins, on July 30th. The first formations that experienced the thrill of the game were Los Angeles Clippers and Orlando Magic. The Californians won by 99-90, a challenge which lasted 40 minutes instead of 48, especially useful for assessing the physical condition of the athletes and trying out the game patterns. The first official basket was scored by Nikola Vucevic, the best on the pitch was Paul George, less than twenty minutes on the parquet and 18 points under his belt. The other scheduled race faced Nuggets and Wizards.
    He won the Colorado formation 88-82, with Nikola Jokic in great shape, 16 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds. Bol Bol is also on the field, after a very long absence due to injury, practically since the end of last year; the long revival of the Nuggets worked hard and made a good impression, scoring 16 points (with 10 rebounds).
    The friendlies between Miami Heat and Sacramento Kings (104-98) and between Pelicans and Nets also ended 99-68 with 7 points for the blue Nicolò Melli.
