43+5+5, the new difficult savior of the Boshen season
The Wizards defeated the Hawks 120-122.
Facing the Hawks, who suffered two consecutive losses in the past, Porzingis played a season-high performance, cutting 20+ in the first and second halves, once helping the team establish a 15-point lead, but unfortunately the team could not withstand the opponent's counterattack, and was finally reversed by the Hawks.
But tonight's pot god did not back, especially in the fourth quarter, he shot 14 points on all 5 shots, helping the team to bite the score single-handedly, but unfortunately on the night when he felt so hot, he met the brainless Bill who fell into a solo fight, this quarter Bill shot only 1 of 6, and there was a stupid walking error at the key moment, which finally buried the game.
Porzingis played 37 minutes in the game, shooting 17-of-22 from the field, including 7-of-10 three-pointers and 2-of-3 free throws, hitting a season-high 43 points, plus five rebounds and five assists, with a plus-minus of +8.
It is worth mentioning that Porzingis is the tallest player who can score 40+ points, 5+ rebounds, 5+ assists, and hit 5+ three-pointers in a game.
28+5+5, Butler's tough attack and defense are difficult to stop
The Heat lost 100-104 to the Cavaliers.
This time the Heat sat home against the menacing Cavaliers, as the leader of the team, Butler led the way, both the offensive and defensive ends were full at the same time, the offensive end frequently burst under the basket to kill, and the defensive end limited Mitchell's offensive level to below the season average.
At the same time, the Heat dominated the game in shooting percentage and free throws, but unfortunately there were as many as 22 turnovers, and the opponent scored 29 points through the Heat's mistakes, and finally lost the game.
Butler played 35 minutes in the game, shooting 8-of-14 from the field, 12-of-15 from the free throw line, and efficiently scored 28 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
30+7+2, Tatum scored 6 three-pointers through the Blazers
The Celtics beat the Blazers 115-93.
The Celtics have suffered double-digit reversals in the past three games, losing three straight games, and the whole team is demoralized and desperately needs a win to turn the tide.
In this home game against the Blazers, Tatum regained his feeling, especially when he scored 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting in the third quarter, helping the team extend the gap to 20+ points and establish a victory.
In this game, Tatum clocked in in the third quarter, played 30 minutes, shot 11 of 17, including 6 of 10 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, cut 30 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, with a plus-minus of +21, the best in the game.
32+5+5, CJ takes over the match to defeat the opponent
Pelicans defeated the Lone Rangers 113-106.
Facing the Lone Ranger, who have both Doncic and Irving, the Pelicans broke Ingram in the second quarter, and CJ had to temporarily take the leadership role of the team, and he scored 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting in the quarter, leading the team to a single-quarter score of 35-19 and laying the foundation for victory.
At the end of the decisive game, seeing the Lone Ranger under the leadership of Irving frantically counterattack and gradually approaching the score, CJ stood up again, he single-handedly scored 11 points at the key moment, and he scored 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting throughout the fourth quarter, withstanding the opponent's counterattack with his own strength, and finally won the game without risk.
All CJ McCollum played 34 minutes, shooting 12 of 22, including 6 of 8 three-pointers and 2 of 3 free throws, scoring 32 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
It is worth mentioning that this season, the Pelicans' Warblers and Zion have been plagued by injuries for a long time, and most of the time they have relied on CJ to barely lead the team, so CJ has ranked first with the Pelicans in terms of points, assists and three-point points so far this season.
25+15+3, Vucevic locked up Jokic
The Bulls 117-96 took the Nuggets lightly.
Facing the two-time MVP and the season triple-double, Vucevic played the most defensive game of the season, limiting Jokic's shooting to 7-of-16 shots, with a shooting percentage of less than 50%, successfully ending Jokic's record of shooting more than 50% in 51 consecutive games, laying the foundation for the team's final victory.
In addition to his excellent defensive performance, Vucevic also played well on the offensive end, playing 34 minutes in the game, shooting 9 of 19, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and a double-double of 25 points, 15 rebounds and 3 assists, with a plus-minus of +17.
29+5+4, LaVine single-handedly exploded the Nuggets' outside double star
The Bulls beat the Nuggets 117-96.
This time the Bulls traveled to the Denver Highlands, facing the Nuggets of the Western Conference boss who have been in the limelight recently, and the team surprisingly won by a large margin.
In addition to interior center Vucevic completely strangling the Nuggets' team engine Jokic, LaVine's outstanding play on the outside also played a crucial role. Facing the Nuggets' outside duo Murray and Porter Jr., LaVine was full of output, one against two without falling behind, and even exploded these two goods one by one.
LaVine played 33 minutes in the game, shooting 12-of-18 from the field, including 3-of-5 three-pointers, 2-of-2 from the free throw line, and efficiently shot 29 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, with a plus-minus of +15.
It is worth mentioning that this game also allowed LaVine to reach the career scoring milestone of 11,000 points.
24+12+4, Leonard's ruthless hand blade old master
The Clippers beat the Raptors 108-100.
Today, the Clippers hosted the Raptors, and both teams were the league's most forward-thick teams, and both teams played a good game in the first half to tie the score at 49.
However, entering the second half, although the two sides are still between the two sides in terms of roster depth, the Clippers are more starry after all, the former "King of the North" Leonard does not miss the old feelings, the intensity of the whole game has been full, and finally once again the old master, since leaving the Raptors, Leonard has achieved a 6-0 record against the Raptors.
Leonard played 40 minutes in this game, shooting 8-of-15 from the field, including 1-of-1 three-pointers and 7-of-9 free throws, with a double-double of 24 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals.
The tournament also allowed Leonard to successfully break the 12,000-point mark in his career total, the 40th place among active players to unlock this achievement.
It is worth mentioning that following 10 rebounds in the last game against the Grizzlies, Leonard has double-digit rebounds in two consecutive games. In his first 38 games this season, he has rebounded in just one.
Trae Young 28+10+4 missed the best today
122-120 Nick Wizards.
So far this season, Trae Young has averaged nearly 27 points per game, but these are all due to his high number of shots, and the overall shooting percentage is more than 40%, which is one of the reasons for the team's unsatisfactory record.
However, in today's game against the Wizards, Trae Young suddenly became particularly calm, rarely did not rush three points, and spent more energy on tandem teams, and under his threading needle, the whole team scored double-doubles, and finally won a team-style victory.
Trae Young played 32 minutes in this game, shooting 11 of 14 from the field, including 3 of 4 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws, contributing 28 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals.
It is worth mentioning that this is Trae Young giving out at least 5+ assists in 93 consecutive games.
Meanwhile, in the last five seasons, in the number of games with 25+ points and 10+ assists, Trae Young has dominated Doncic (74) and Harden (70) with 93 games.
In the past five seasons, apart from these three players, no player in the league has had at least 25 points and 10 assists more than 50 games.
However, such an explosive performance still did not qualify for the best of the day because he met the Suns' all-time first.
Booker 44+3+4 was voted Best of the Day
To be able to beat many of the above stars to be selected as today's best, you can imagine what a performance against the sky, right! This person is Booker, one of the three "Mr. 70" on active duty.
Facing the Thunder team who just grabbed the Warriors yesterday, although the opposing leading scorer Alexander chose to take a break, the Suns also banned Durant, compared to Curry's high-score loss yesterday, Booker wants both statistics and wins today.
Booker quickly moved into battle mode at the start of the game, scoring 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting in the first quarter, helping the team establish a double-digit lead early.
In the second quarter, Booker continued to be firepowered, scoring 13 points on 4-of-5 shooting in a single quarter. Throughout the first half, Booker scored 30 points on 11-of-15 shooting, did this borrow Adu's death scythe?
In the second half, Booker was trapped in too many fouls and could only watch from the sidelines for most of the time, but this did not affect his touch, and Booker scored 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting in the third and fourth quarters to lead the Suns to a 132-101 victory.
Booker played less than 28 minutes in the game, shooting 17-of-23 from the field, including 6-of-10 three-pointers, 4-of-5 free throws, 44 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block, with a game-high +33.
The battle also allowed Booker to set four personal records:
This is Booker's second halftime score of 30+ points this season, having previously scored 36 points at halftime.
This is the 24th time in Booker's career that he has scored 40+.
Third, there are only three players who can score 40 points in 30 minutes in a single game this season: the Bucks' alphabet brother, the Suns' Booker, and the Nets' Thomas.
Booker became the first player in Suns history to score 35+ points in four consecutive games.
In the past four games, Booker has averaged 38.0 points, 6.8 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game, shooting 60.2% from the field and 61.5% from three-point range.
Booker played 137 minutes in those four games with a plus/minus of +82, and the Suns also had a 4-0 record.
With this performance, Booker was undoubtedly the best of the day!
