Steph Curry not spinning? No problem, the Warriors version 2021-22 know how to win even when their star takes a well-deserved break, given his amazing start to the season as an mvp. Despite Curry limited to 12 points with 2/10 from the field, Golden State (15-2) is confirmed as the best NBA team keeping Toronto at bay (8-10), in a game that the Warriors have controlled after an amazing first quarter of +20 but to which the Raptors, in the seventh defeat in the last 9 outings, have always managed to stay hooked. Coach Kerr had the best indications from the 65 points paired by Jordan Poole (33) and Andrew Wiggins (32). They both played Curry, turning most balls touched into heavy points. The 22-year-old Poole in particular confirmed that he has the numbers to be important in a team that aims high. Otto Porter also did well, 15 points from the bench, precious the contribution of Chris Chiozza, two-way player with 11 points and 20 ‘of use. Toronto clings to Paskal Siakam (21 points and 6 rebounds) in order not to fall, but without OG Anunoby (next to his comeback) it’s hard even to give a team like the Warriors a hard time. Coach Nurse in addition to Siakam had some flashes of Van Vleet 17 points and 7 assists, and little else.
Golden State: Poole 33 (2/2 of two, 8/11 of three, 5/6 free throws), Wiggins 32, Porter 15. Rebounds: Green 14. Assists: Green 8, Curry 8.
Toronto: Siakam 21 (5/11, 3/6, 2/5 tl), VanVleet 17, Achiuwa 12. Rebounds: Barnes 13. Assist: VanVleet 7.

Chicago (12-5) comes out of the confrontation between United Center and New York (9-8) with the fourth victory in the last 5 games, a gritty success that confirms the spirit of Donovan’s team and his belonging to the Eastern elite Conference. The difference was made once again by DeMar DeRozan, the purchase of the turning point for the Bulls, with his 31 points including 8 in the heads-up of the last quarter. Positive signs from Coby White (14 points and 2 assists), still running in after the injury that made him miss the first part of the season. For Chicago, still without Nikola Vucevic who is trying to recover from Covid, the defense masterfully led by Alex Caruso was decisive: New York shot with 41.7%. The Knicks collect their fourth defeat in the last 6. Julius Randle has tried with 34 points and 10 assists to make the difference, never teammates have left him too alone: Burks (13) and Quickley (12) are the only ones to have scored in double digit.

The series continues. Phoenix (13-3) hits the 12th win in a row by demolishing Denver (9-8), who without Nikola Jokic loses the third consecutive game. The Suns reach a 20-point lead already at the end of the first quarter and then don’t look back anymore, closing with 6 double-digit players enlightened by Chris Paul, splendid 10-point conductor and no lost ball. The Nuggets collapsed in defense (Suns 52.9% shooting) and without their mvp they never managed to be a factor in attack (36.5%). Of Malone’s 6 double-digit players, the most productive was Aaron Gordon, 16 points and 10 rebounds spotted by an expulsion at the end of the third quarter. If the Suns have confirmed that they are one of the best NBA teams, not only at the moment, Denver has made it clear that without Jokic they can not go anywhere.
Phoenix: Johnson 22 (5/5, 4/10, 0/1 tl), Ayton 21, Booker 17. Rebounds: Ayton 8. Assists: Paul 10.
Denver: Je. Green 19 (5/5, 1/5, 6/8 tl), Gordon 16, Ja. Green 14. Rebounds: Gordon 10. Assists: Gordon 4, Ja. Green 4.
