Utah, the Lakers and Philadelphia all lost Saturday night in the NBA, while the New York Knicks continued their streak by signing a ninth victory in a row against the Raptors (120-103).
For the leader of the Western Conference, the defeat is particularly unexpected: the Jazz, certainly without Donovan Mitchell, cracked against Minnesota, fourteenth and already eliminated from the race for the play-offs (101-96).
The defending champions have for their part been corrected (108-93) by Dallas, a third defeat in a row which places them under the threat of their executioner, sixth in the West with two victories less than the Lakers.
As for Philadelphia, which had the opportunity to pick up in Brooklyn at the top of the Eastern Conference, Doc Rivers' team was humiliated by Milwaukee (132-94).
Deprived of Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, the Sixers remain second but see the Bucks (third) approaching two wins.
The most beautiful series of the Knicks for almost 10 years
Just behind Milwaukee in the East, the Knicks confirmed their sparkling form by winning a ninth straight game at home against Toronto (120-103).
