Today's game, bucks 121-109 Nets, Jazz 108-122 Raptors, Wizards 122-130 Bulls, Timberwolves 135-105 Thunder, Lone Rangers 130-106 Rockets, Kings 111-121 Nuggets, Hawks 118-134 Lakers, Cavaliers 114-101 Trail Blazers. 8 big games lead to the league structure, let's take a look at the NBA record list, the Eastern Division and the Western Division:
The Bulls gave the Wizards a head-on blow, and the 9th-place Wizards in the East had a hard time getting back in the top 8 in the East, with a 1-win difference with the Hornets and a 19-20 record like the Knicks. Bulls beat the Wizards to win 9 consecutive wins to lead the East, the Nets want to catch up has become difficult, the alphabet brother brought the Bucks to beat the Nets again, it seems that Durant wants to become the first person in the active duty is not easy, James in today's game again brushed the record, and Durant to face the letter brother to lose at the same time, the Nets and bucks win difference is 2.5, the Bulls finally opened the gap, presumably the Nets now want to prevent themselves from being overtaken by the Bucks, because they want to chase the Bulls in a short period of time, unless the Bulls themselves have a wave of losing streaks.
In addition, the Cavaliers win to stabilize their 6th place advantage in the East, although the Cavaliers are not regarded as a strong team in the East, but the Cavaliers of the post-James era can play the current performance, indicating that the Cavaliers are quietly completing the rise, and Lefour is not necessarily the future puzzle of the Cavaliers.
The situation in the West has always been reversed by the Suns chasing the Warriors, due to Curry's sluggish performance in recent times, and the Suns' consecutive victories under Paul's crazy assist data, the Suns 3 consecutive wins led the West while sitting firmly in the 1st position in the league, the Warriors fell behind, the current Warriors and the Suns appear 1 win difference, the most important thing is that the Next opponents of the Suns are easier to play, and the Warriors have to face some strong team challenges, if the Warriors do not want to fall behind, unless Tang Shen returns after the continuous outbreak to change the pattern, Curry also needs to complete self-adjustment in time.
Comparing the schedule of the next 5 games between the Warriors and the Suns, it is obviously good for the Suns, the most important thing is that the Suns are now playing too steadily, the Warriors are in an adjustment period, but the bulls 9 consecutive wins + the Suns 3 consecutive wins lead the status quo, will not stop here, because the Nets and Bucks in the East still have the opportunity to surpass the Bulls, the Warriors' fall in the West may only be temporary, not to mention the Jazz have begun to catch up.
The Lone Rangers and Lakers both defeated their opponents today, so the Lone Rangers are well able to keep their 5th place in the West, the Lakers are still temporarily in the 6th Place in the West, compared to the battle between the Warriors and the Suns, the key battle in the West should now be on the Lakers.
Lakers Nuggets, Clippers, Timberwolves have achieved a slight lead, and the Lone Ranger only 0.5 wins difference, James as the starting center to lead the team to win consecutively, giving the Lakers to impact the top 5 in the West has a huge motivation, this year's January Lakers have not lost, James is too strong, the Lakers are really likely to cash in on the prediction of winning the championship.
