Ten games in tonight's shift in the NBA and there were surprises.
Above all the success of the Cleveland Cavaliers against the Los Angeles Clippers, still looking for an identity this season.
The Californians were beaten 115-105 by the Cavs who made an extraordinary comeback of 22 points in the last quarter, driven by a great Steph Curr who signed a personal of 38. The second surprise of this round was the victory of Utah Jazz against the Milwaukee Bucks for 131-118, thanks to Donovan Mitchell's 32 points, while the 35 points of the Greek champion Giannis Antetokounmpo were not enough to avoid the knockout of the Michigan team.
A more difficult success than expected for the Lakers against the Chicago Bulls, folded by 117-115, with Lebron James the star (28 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds) and many shadows in defenses. The Bulls wasted the overtaking shot just seconds from the siren, but they can be consoled with the splendid performance of Zach LaVine, author of 38 points. Bad evening instead for the Brooklyn Nets, who fail to take advantage of the 43 points scored by Caris LeVert, and are overtaken by the Grizzlies for 115-110. Finally, the overwhelming victory of the Rockets for 132-90 over the Orlando Magic, with the 'beard' James Harden author of 15 points and 13 assists, and the victory of the Toronto Raptors over the Kings for 144-123.
