Jefferson domina, i Bobcats hanno smesso di far ridere
CHARLOTTE BOBCATS – NEW ORLEANS PELICANS 90-87
CHA: Walker 13 (3/7, 0/4), Henderson 7 (3/8), Kidd-Gilchrist 7 (1/3), McRoberts 6 (3/4, 0/4), Jefferson 33 (14/30), Zeller 13 (3/7), Douglas-Roberts (0/1, 0/3), Tolliver 9 (3/3 da tre), Biyombo (0/2), Pargo 2 (1/3, 0/1), Gordon dnpcd.
NOP: Roberts 20 (5/11, 2/4), Gordon 14 (3/7, 2/4), Aminu 9 (3/5, 1/1), Davis 18 (8/17), Ajinca 2 (1/1), Stiemsma 2 (1/1), Evans 4 (2/10, 0/3), Rivers 3 (0/2, 1/3), Morrow 9 (3/4, 1/4), Withey (0/1), Babbitt 6 (0/1, 2/4), Miller dnpcd.
PARZIALI: 25-17, 43-32, 68-59, 90-87.
Rimbalzi: CHA 47 (Jefferson 10), NOP 38 (Davis 13).
Assist: CHA 17 (Walker 8), NOP 20 (Evans 7).
NOTE LOZA – 7 vittorie nelle ultime 10 per i Bobcats che hanno un Jefferson da primo quintetto Nba. Roberts pareggia a 84 a -1’30”, poi una stoppata che era regolare di Davis su Jefferson viene giudicata diversamente e Charlotte ne prende spunto per lo sprint decisivo.
ORLANDO MAGIC – NEW YORK KNICKS 129-121 (2OT)
ORL: Nelson 3 (1/5, 0/3), Oladipo 30 (9/20,2/3), Afflalo 32 (7/14, 4/4), Harris 22 (7/11), Vucevic 14 (7/13), O’Quinn 6 (3/3), Moore 10 (3/9, 1/2), Nicholson (0/1, 0/1), Harkless 10 (2/6, 2/3), Lamb 2 (1/1), Maxiell dnpcd, Price dnpcd.
NYK: Prigioni 9 (3/4 da tre), Felton 15 (6/9, 1/7), Smith 10 (2/8, 2/6), Anthony 44 (10/18, 6/10), Chandler 14 (5/8), Hardaway Jr 15 (3/10, 3/6), Stoudemire 10 (3/6), World Peace (0/1, 0/1), Tyler 4 (1/1), Aldrich dnpcd, Murry dnpcd, Udrih dnpcd.
PARZIALI: 31-30, 53-60, 79-86, 106-106, 113-113, 129-121.
Rimbalzi: ORL 49 (Vucevic 15), NYK 44 (Anthony e Chandler 11).
Assist: ORL 29 (Oladipo 14), NYK 21 (Felton 8).
NOTE LOZA – Quasi tripla doppia (con 14 assist!) per Oladipo in una gara pazzesca da doppio overtime. Vucevic sbaglia a fine regolamentari e anche al termine del primo overtime. La vittoria, nonostante un Melo surreale (tutti gli 8 punti finali di New York sono suoi), va comunque ai Magic, che nel secondo supplementare trovano un Oladipo ancora con tanta energia. Infortunio alla caviglia nei minuti conclusivi per Afflalo.
PHILADELPHIA 76ERS – DALLAS MAVERICKS 112-124

PARZIALI: 23-41, 62-69, 89-101, 112-124.
Rimbalzi: PHI 34 (Young 13), DAL 48 (Carter 9).
Assist: PHI 22 (Carter-Williams e Young 6), DAL 39 (Calderon 10).
NOTE LOZA – Dallas obiettivamente giochicchia e la vince facile nonostante 23 perse. “They wanted to make it a helter skelter game. We were able to overcome that and keep our composure”, Shawn Marion.
DETROIT PISTONS – ATLANTA HAWKS 115-107
DET: Jennings 12 (1/3, 2/9), Singler 20 (3/5, 4/6), Smith 17 (6/14, 1/3), Monroe 22 (10/17), Drummond 20 (10/11), Stuckey 12 (5/10), Jerebko 3 (0/1, 1/1), Bynum 9 (4/6, 0/1), Caldwell-Pope, Datome dnpcd, Villanueva dnpcd, Sivca dnpcd, Harrellson dnpcd.

PARZIALI: 19-22, 52-63, 86-83, 115-107.
Rimbalzi: DET 46 (Monroe 15), ATL 41 (Brand 9).
Assist: DET 32 (Jennings 14), ATL 25 (Williams 8).
NOTE LOZA – Sono affascinato dallo 0/8 ai liberi di Drummond, fantastico… Detroit svolta dopo il -11 dell’intervallo.
TORONTO RAPTORS – CLEVELAND CAVALIERS 98-91
TOR: Lowry 14 (4/9, 1/4), DeRozan 14 (5/14), Ross 20 (7/11, 2/7), Johnson 4 (2/9), Valanciunas 18 (8/12), Patterson 8 (1/4, 2/4), Hansbrough 6 (3/3), Salmons 3 (3/6, 0/2), Vasquez 8 (0/3, 2/3), Novak (0/1, 0/1), Fields dnpcd, Hayes dnpcd, Stone dnpcd.

PARZIALI: 16-22, 39-44, 76-65, 98-91.
Rimbalzi: TOR 42 (Valanciunas 8), CLE 47 (Deng 11).
Assist: TOR 23 (Lowry 9), CLE 21 (Irving 9).
NOTE LOZA – I Cavs ne stavano vincendo sei di fila e i Raptors ne mettono solo 39 e sono -5 all’intervallo. Poi un quarto 37, incredibile. Funziona tutto ai Raptors e sportivamente sarebbe un peccato non arrivare in semifinale di conference. Però potrà succedere.
CHICAGO BULLS – DENVER NUGGETS 117-89
CHI: Hinrich 10 (5/8), Butler 8 (2/2, 1/2), Dunleavy 10 (2/4, 1/3), Boozer 10 (4/13, 0/1), Noah 14 (4/6), Augustin 22 (0/3, 5/7), Gibson 15 (7/14), Snell 20 (4/10, 3/4), Mohammed 6 (3/6), Murphy, Varnado, Shengelia 2 (1/1).

Rimbalzi: CHI 50 (Noah 11), DEN 40 (Mozgov 9).
Assist: CHI 28 (Augustin 8), DEN 12 (Foye e Randolph 3).
NOTE LOZA – Partita morta già dopo il primo tempo, con i Bulls che dominano senza averne le forze tecniche (e sono alla quinta in fila) e i Nuggets che sono dominati quando potrebbero fare di più (pur se manca Lawson, va detto).
LOS ANGELES LAKERS – BOSTON CELTICS 101-92
LAL: Marshall 5 (1/4, 1/2), Meeks 16 (4/7, 2/8), Johnson 1 (0/1, 0/3), Kelly, Gasol 16 (6/12), Hill 10 (4/7), Bazemore 15 (3/5, 2/5), Farmar 8 (1/5, 2/4), Kaman 16 (7/9), Brooks 14 (7/11), Sacre dnpcd.
BOS: Rondo 6 (1/9, 1/3), Wallace 12 (5/9, 0/3), Green 21 (5/11, 3/6), Bass 20 (8/15), Sullinger 12 (6/13, 0/3), Olynyk 4 (2/6, 0/2), Bayless 5 (2/4, 0/2), Johnson 4 (2/3, 0/2), Humphries 6 (2/3), Pressey 2 (1/2, 0/1), Anthony dnpcd).

Assist: LAL 23 (Marshall 8), BOS 23 (Rondo 11).
NOTE LOZA – Da -11 a +9 nel quarto periodo con un 38-18 abbastanza inusuale per i Lakers d’oggidì. Termina qui la striscia casalinga di sconfitte più lunga della storia gialloviola (8).
PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS – UTAH JAZZ 102-94
POR: Lillard 28 (9/23, 2/5), Matthews 24 (8/14, 1/3), Batum 3 (0/1, 1/3), Wright 5 (1/1, 1/3), Lopez 12 (5/8), Robinson 2 (1/3), Williams 13 (3/8, 1/3), Claver (0/1), McCollum 7 (2/6, 1/3), Barton 8 (3/5), Crabbe (0/1), Watson dnpcd.

NOTE LOZA – 38-21 dei Blazers nel quarto periodo dopo averne segnati 64 nei tre quarti precedenti. Manca Aldridge, ma Portland vince comunque e ringrazia il career high di rimbalzi di Robin Lopez, 18.
PHOENIX SUNS – SAN ANTONIO SPURS 106-85
PHX: Dragic 8 (3/10), Green 13 (5/9, 0/5), Tucker 4 (2/4, 0/2), Frye 17 (5/5, 2/7), Plumlee 4 (1/1), Markieff Morris 21 (7/8, 1/2), Smith 15 (7/8, 0/1), Len 2 (1/2), Marcus Morris 13 (3/5, 2/6), Goodwin 9 (3/4, 0/1), Christmas (0/1 da tre), Kravtsov (0/1).

Assist: PHX 19 (Dragic e Markieff Morris 5), SAS 12 (Belinelli 4).
