Los Angeles Lakers- Cleveland Cavaliers 113-101
LeBron James returns and the Lakers (3-3) find the victory, the third of the season, in the difficult match against the Cleveland Cavaliers (3-3) at the Staples Center. A much more convincing performance than the previous ones, that of the yellow-violet, defined in a more authentic way in the defensive half, sealed by flashes of exciting basketball in attack and by a better movement of the ball (54.8% shooting). LeBron’s presence made itself felt a lot in every nuance, especially in the qualitatively lower moments of the race.

Together with him, his friend Carmelo Anthony, essential to win the game, especially in the 4th period, with his 24 points and a 6/8 from the arc. Russell Westbrook also did well, less frenetic and more “focused”, with 19 points (8/13 shooting), 6 rebounds and 5 assists. The Cavs really played in a personal and credible way. They often had a substantial advantage during the race but got bogged down a few meters from the finish line. Their dynamism and the desire to go and take baskets in every possession was clearly seen and constitutes a positive point of reflection around their performance. They play with joy and have fun. And then there is rookie Evan Mobley (23 points), who alone is worth a lot in terms of pure basketball interest.

Great home victory of the Miami Heat (4-1) against the very hot Charlotte Hornets (4-2) and a splendid game offered with a basketball rich in content by both teams, which prove to be among the most in form of the whole league. It was a special evening at the FTX Arena, not only for the match, the fourth victory of the season for the hosts, but above all for the official celebration of the gold medal won with Team Usa at the Tokyo games by Bam Adebayo. A celebratory banner was dedicated to the length of the Heat, the absolute protagonist of the race with 26 points and 19 rebounds. Miami played very well in the first half, easily going up by even 26 points, and seemed to have demolished Charlotte’s securities in the bud, appearing as compliant as ever this season. With a dominant Jimmy Butler (32 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists) and a Tyler Herro (26 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds) glowing from the bench, the Heat concretely expressed their intense basketball, excelling in every aspect of the game. opponent. After the break, however, the Hornets recovered, regaining courage and confidence, thanks to the timeless leadership of Gordon Hayward (23 points) and the engaging enthusiasm of Miles Bridges (22 points and 8 rebounds), also finding the – 6 (84-78) at the beginning of the 4th period.

Revenge served for Portland (3-2), who beat the Clippers at Moda Center (1-4) and healed the deep wound suffered in the terrible defeat of the beginning of the week against Coach Tyronn Lue’s men at the Staples Center. This time the Blazers controlled the race well and even went up to +20 in the 3rd quarter, despite the timid return to Los Angeles, only driven and animated by the exaggerated quality of Paul George, preacher in the desert with 42 points and 8 rebounds in 34 ‘. Portland found constant refreshment from the excellent performance of Damian Lillard, author of 25 points shooting 5/7 from the arc, and from the rebound dominance (63-43) generated in particular by the presence on the parquet of Jusuf Nurkic (14 points and 17 rebounds) and Larry Nance Jr. (10 rebounds).

The Sacramento Kings still win away (3-2), for the third time in as many seasonal matches, this time on the field of the disappointing New Orleans Pelicans (1-5), still dry in the games played in the Big Easy. The Californians are mentally lucid to extend the lead in the last minutes, finding +12 (197-95) at 1:20 from the siren and making the final reaction of the Pels, still without Zion Williamson, in vain. The five double-digit players for the Kings all had a positive impact on the game, starting with “directors” De’Aaron Fox (23 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists) and Tyrese Haliburton (17 points and 8 assists), for finish with Buddy Hield, productive as always from the bench with 20 points in 30 ‘. Sacramento plays as a team, is not toxicly dependent on a single player and works consistently when he can find his flow within the game. New Orleans is a very small thing, with the partial exception of Brandon Ingram (22 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds), who is also a bit dampened in terms of stage presence.
New Orleans: Valanciunas 24 (10/14, 1/2 of three, 3/6 tl), Ingram 22, Graham 16. Rebounds: Valanciunas 13. Assist: Ingram 6.

It was the match of the two very talented rookies Scottie Barnes (21 points and 9 rebounds) and Jalen Suggs (21 points) but, above all, it was the match of Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby, decisive in the 4th period for the success of the Raptors. The former scored 16 of his 19 final points in the last 12 minutes, while the latter added 10 of his 16 total to finally break the balance in Toronto’s favor. The performance of Gary Trent Jr. (19 points) is also very important, especially in the defensive half. Orlando had the chance to win it in the last possession but failed to find the bottom of the retina with Cole Anthony (24 points).
