The rising star: Toronto Raptors
Toronto Raptors do not recognize rivals in this NBA season, having beaten at the Air Canada Center and Boston Celtis with a score of 96-78. With this success, Toronto puts the first place at the East Conference, where and thanks to this victory, go to +3 successes to Celtis when both teams have been left for four games by the end of the regular season. The balance on the pitch lasts a bit, as the Stevens-led squad immediately settles its dictate on the floor. This time Irving’s absence was more felt in the Boston attack, which ended the game with less than 80 points, while scores scored by Marcus Morris 21 and Greg Monroe 17 are not enough for Celtis. On the other hand, reports DeMar DeRozan scored 16 points, adding 15 points from Ibka’s VanVleet.
Another two-day loss to San Antonio Spurs against Los Angeles Lakers, which defeated Clippers before, surrendered to the Lakers extra time. In the 48 minutes of the game, the park was a balanced match with both attacking and counter-attacking teams. However, everything was put in extra time, where the Texans seem to disappear from the game, while the California team is forced to win. Although Lakers shone Kyle Kuzma with 30 points, in the end these points are not worth it. Two other basketball players who scored were Caldwell-Pope with 21 points and Frye with 19. At San Antonio the best remains LaMarcus Aldridge with 28 points, while Dejounte closes with 23 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists.
