Indiana s’arrabbia e distrugge Denver
Loyer a Detroit inizia con una vittoria ma Gigione resta ancora a sedere. Indiana s’arrabbia dopo aver perso con Orlando. I giocatori della settimana: a ovest Durant (ok), a est Sullinger (sì, Sullinger…).

Assist: IND 18 (West 4), DEN 23 (Foye, Faried, Hickson, Arthur 3).
NOTE LOZA – Indiana leggermente inviperita per aver perso con Orlando. La partita non comincia mai. Andre Miller a Denver continua ad essere un problema. Brian Shaw è triste: “The one thing I’m disappointed in tonight, I can take losing, but I don’t want our guys to display being a loser. There’s a difference between losing and being a loser. Basically, when things go bad, I don’t want everyone to just splinter off and jump off the ship”
GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS – PHILADELPHIA 76ERS 123-80

Rimbalzi: GSW 60 (Lee 13), PHI 38 (Hawes e Allen 6).
Assist: GSW 24 (Curry 8), PHI 15 (Hawes 4).
NOTE LOZA - Carrer high di Mareese Speights con percentuali assurde. La Oracle Arena (vero!) gli canta “mvp, mvp”.
DETROIT PISTONS – SAN ANTONIO SPURS 109-100
DET: Jennings 21 (6/14, 2/4), Singler 10 (1/5, 2/6), Smith 12 (4/11, 0/1), Monroe 15 (7/10), Drummond 14 (7/10), Stuckey 20 (7/13), Bynum 8 (4/8), Caldwell-Pope 9 (2/2, 1/5), Jerebko (0/1), Billups dnpcd, Datome dnpcd, Villanueva dnpcd.

Rimbalzi: DET 42 (Monroe 10), SAS 38 (Duncan 8).
Assist: DET 16 (Jennings 6), SAS 27 (Joseph 9).
NOTE LOZA – De Colo in quintetto è già durato troppo. Beli molto bene, ma San Antonio ne ha sempre troppi fuori per poterle vincere tutte. L’assenza più importante? Leonard.
MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES – HOUSTON ROCKETS 89-107

NOTE LOZA – Minnesota crolla ancora nel quarto periodo, per di più segnando 11 punti contro una difesa (…) come quella di Houston. Una Red Bull no?
MILWAUKEE BUCKS – BOSTON CELTICS 86-102
MIL: Knight 22 (5/14, 2/4), Wolters 7 (1/6, 1/3), Middleton 8 (1/3, 1/3), Henson 16 (8/12), Pachulia 8 (3/8), Antetokounmpo 4 (0/3, 1/2), Udoh, Neal 17 (5/7, 1/4), Raduljica 4 (2/3), Ilyasova dnpcd, Ridnour dnpcd, Sanders dnp (occhio), Mayo dnp.

Assist: MIL 17 (Knight e Pachulia 4), BOS 25 (Pressey e Bailess 6).
NOTE LOZA – Partita abbastanza inutile, viriamo sul pubblico. A Milwaukee c’erano 11.016 spettatori, il peggior numero da 25 anni a questa parte.
TORONTO RAPTORS – NEW ORLEANS PELICANS 108-101
TOR: Lowry 19 (7/9, 1/4), DeRozan 22 (6/16, 1/5), Ross 14 (1/3, 4/5), Patterson 22 (4/6, 3/5), Valanciunas 9 (3/7), Hansbrough 12 (4/6), Salmons 4 (0/2, 0/1), Vasquez 3 (1/2, 0/2), Novak 3 (1/2 da tre), Hayes (0/1), Buycks dnpcd, Daye dnpcd, Stone dnpcd.
