The Clippers' knockout, with a consequent leap in the rankings of the Utah Jazz and Brooklyn Nets, and the 54 points of Fred Van Vleet are the dominant notes of the NBA round played on the Italian night.
The Los Angeles formation was folded by the Nets, who no longer hide their ambitions.
Dragged by Kyrie Irving's 39 points, Durant's 28 points, and James Harden's triple double (23 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists), Brooklyn won 124-120 in a comeback, after being down for most of the race.
This win is worth for the Nets second place in the standings in the east, behind the Sixers, another revelation of this season.
Conversely, the defeat of the Californians opened the way to the top, in the west, at Utah Jazz, which last night beat the Detroit Pistons 117-105.
In the challenge between the Raptors and Orlando Magic, which ended 123-108 for the Canadians, the incredible personal score of Fred Van Vleet stands out, who signed 54 points dominating in every part of the field.
In the other challenges, Golden State wins against Boston for 111-107, Portland against the Wizards for 132-121 and Indiana against Memphis 134-116.
