San Antonio Spurs-Indiana Pacers 98-136
–
After collecting an embarrassing defeat with a 30-point waste in the first Paris challenge against the local Idol Wembanyama, the Pacers (25-20) are enjoyed a revenge in the match that closes the French event destroying the Spurs (20-23 ). This time the passive is even higher (38 points) thanks to the change of passage of Haliburton who in two and a half minutes in the final of the third quarter signs even 16 of his 28 points. Indiana no longer looks back and goes to win in looseness thus conquering the ninth victory in the last 11 races. Wemby of course earns the applause of the Parisian audience and eventually closes with 20 points and 12 rebounds, 23 points and 11 rebounds, however, for an excellent Siakam.
San Antonio: Barnes 25 (6/7, 3/7, 4/7 tl), Wembanyama 20, Castle 17. Hinders: Wembanyama 12. Assist: Paul 8.
Indiana: Haliburton 28 (5/8, 6/9), Siakam 23, Nembhard 15. Hinders: Siakam 11. Assist: Nembhard 9.
Minnesota Timberwolves-Denver Nuggets 133-104
–
Minnesota continues with its ups and downs but against the Nuggets (28-17) shows that when things run in attack these Timberwolves (24-21) becomes complicated. Edwards and companions play three quarters of the highest level then widely decisively, they pull the oars on the boat a little in the final fraction. A first half in which nobody really defends goes to the bulletin board with the home team that puts 71 points on a report, pulling 60% from the field. Denver sins with self -harm with a series of very avoidable turnover but cannot find defensive responses to a super Edwards: 34 points and nine assists. Gobert shows the muscles in the area painted against a certain Nikola Jokic and eventually closes with 14 points, 14 rebounds and four recoveries. 20 points, 11 assists but also seven turnover, however, for Jokic.
Minnesota: Edwards 34 (11/15, 3/8, 3/4 TL), Randle 21, Gobert 14. Hinders: Gobert 14. Assist: Edwards 9.
Denver: Murray 25 (7/11, 3/5, 2/2 tl), Jokic 20, Gordon, Westbrook 13. Hatches: Westbrook, Jordan 6. Assist: Jokic 11.
