NBA: Dallas beat Lakers at the buzzer, Sixers continue

A three-point basket at the buzzer from Maxi Kleber, a one-night hero, allowed the Mavericks to win (111-110) over the Lakers again in the standings. On Friday in the NBA, Joel Embiid led the Sixers to their seventh victory in a row.

He had all the purple and gold on the coat, which logically made him the N. 1 danger this burning money time given his 38 points planted. So Kyrie Irving had a good idea, in traffic, to get the ball out to the German winger, who hit the mark with maximum efficiency.

Dallas was deprived of Luka Doncic, and he thought he would bow out after counting 14 units beforehand, because on the heels of Anthony Davis (26 points, 10 rebounds) Los Angeles finished stronger. But the inside, the leader of the offense in the absence of LeBron James (ankle), made only one of his two free throws with 6 seconds left, giving a two-point gap. So insufficient.

After this second consecutive defeat, the Lakers ranked tenth in the West, the last of the barrage, under the threat of Utah (11), thanking Houston, penultimate, for achieving its third success in a row (114-112) against New Orleans (12).

For their part, the Mavs returned to sixth place, at the expense of Golden State (seventh), which again carried out an open defense operation, which led to a loss (127-119) in Atlanta, where Trae Young was the top scorer for the Hawks (25 points).

Without the suspended Draymond Green, the Warriors suffered their 10th straight loss by the bases, despite a 31-run hit from Stephen Curry.

DeRozan is a hit

Is there a mental block? “No, we are playing well, but it is difficult to win away from home in this league. And we can’t. However, we had our chances in the last two minutes…Their coach Steve Kerr said, however, wanting to be optimistic:These guys are fighting. I believe in them and believe that something good will happen with this group. We just have to keep moving forward“.

Behind the defending champions, the Timberwolves (eighth), who spent a difficult evening in Chicago, after being defeated twice overtime (139-131), denounce the right foot injury of Anthony Edwards, who cried out his pain after a bad reception.

If Rudy Gobert had one of his best performances of the season (21 points, 19 rebounds, 5 blocks), he was undermined by Bulls’ back DeMar DeRozan, who scored 49 points.

Joel Embiid planted a 38 in the East, making a huge contribution to the correction Philadelphia made at Charlotte (121-82). The Cameroonian, a MVP trophy contender, averaged 35 points per game in March.

“We know what to do offensively and defensively, everyone is doing their job… and tonight we did it as a team.He welcomed the pivot, especially the skillful one (16 of 21 shooting, 13 rebounds).

In the East, the Sixers (3rd) continue to chase Boston, which has mastered Portland (126-112), thanks to Jason Tatum (34 points, 12 rebounds) and Jaylen Brown (27 points). Versus Damian Lillard was still prolific (41 points) for nothing.
