Stunning Clippers
100% efficiency!
Luke Kennard is one of the major architects of the Clippers' comeback, winning Atlanta 119-110 at home.
The American full-back made 8 out of 8 attempts (including 4 three-point baskets), in a match where substitutes like him were decisive.
“We played with heart and guts,” said Kennard after the game.
We just had to give the floor a little boost, add a little energy. ”
All his points were scored in the last two quarters, while the Clippers were behind by 22 points with a third quarter already well underway.
Terance Mann also shone among the LA substitutes, with 21 points and 10 rebounds, not far from the holder Kawhi Leonard (25 pts, 7 rebounds, 5 assists).
On the Hawks side, Trae Young was the top scorer with 28 points, followed by John Collins (23).

Gobert subscribed to double digits
Utah continues its march to the top of the Western Conference.
Jazz won on the floor of the Bulls in Chicago (120-95).
Donovan Mitchell demonstrated behind the racquet by registering five three-point baskets (out of eight attempts), for a total of 30 points.
Rudy Gobert, he remains impressive in consistency with a sixth double-double in a row (21 pts, 10 rebounds).
The Frenchman, impeccable in defense, even went a hair's breadth away from an unusual triple-double, by succeeding nine blocks, the best total of his career.
"He's playing the right way," praised his trainer Quin Snyder.
Despite Zach LaVine's 27 points, the Bulls are moving away from the play-offs a little further, with a 19-23 record that binds them to 9th place in the East, tied with Indiana.

Milwaukee also wins without Antetokounmpo
Giannis Antetokounmpo injured?
No big deal: Milwaukee dominated Indiana (140-115) despite the absence of the "Greek Freak" due to a knee injury.
The Bucks split the offense: Jrue Holiday was the best with 28 points and 14 assists, followed by Khris Middleton (25), Pat Connaughton (20), Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis (18 each).
“When someone like our best player isn't playing, we unite.
Everyone needs to do a little more, ”Holiday concluded.
What consolidate their third place in the East, behind Philadelphia and Brooklyn, while the Pacers see the play-offs move away (9th, 19-23).
The first qualified in the East, Boston (21-22), is still under pressure after his loss (132-126) against Memphis, after extra time.
The Grizzlies (10th in the East), make up a little of their delay in the race for the playoffs.
