Eight games in tonight's round in the NBA, with two records.
That of the 19 year old LaMelo Ball of the Hornets the youngest ever to sign a triple double in the NBA.
The little brother of the better known Lonzo Ball, who plays for the Pelicans, signed 22 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, in Charlotte's 113-105 victory over Atlanta.
For the Hawks, still without Gallinari in the field, it is the fourth knockout in a row.
The other record, so to speak, of the night, is that of Philadelphia which presented itself on the field with only seven players due to the covid, which has put out of use or in isolation all the rest of its squad.
So reworked and without a real availability of alternatives in the field, the Sixers, revelation of the year and in any case always in command in the east, fought like lions but in the end they lost against the Nuggets for 115-103.
The Bucks are back to play well and win, 100-90 against the Cavs, despite the absence of the Greek giant Giannis Antetokounmpo, still in pain after yesterday's crash.
Western leaders Phoenix beat the Pacers 125-117.
In the other challenges, the success of the Mavericks over the Orlando Magic for 112-98, that of the Spurs over Minnesota 1225-122 and the wide one of Portland over the Kings for 125-99.
In the eastern standings, Philadelphia is in command, followed by Boston.
To the west the Suns, then the Lakers.
