On January 29, Beijing time, all the NBA games have ended, but today the Western team suffered a Waterloo and lost collectively, and the results are as follows.
Thunder 104-120 Pistons! Big upset, the Thunder team was cold in their hearts, and they had only been sitting in the first place in the West for a few days, and their butts had not yet been hot. But for the rest of the players in the West, it's happy. Although the Thunder are still in first place in the West, they are tied by the Timberwolves and are only one win ahead of the third-place Clippers.
And the current number of the top three losses in the West is the same, all 14. However, the Clippers have played two fewer games than the above two teams, so as long as the Clippers seize the opportunity, it is entirely possible to catch up with the Thunder and the Timberwolves or even overtake.
The Clippers are facing a wave of seven consecutive road trips in the East, and have already won the Raptors and Celtics, and will next face the Cavaliers, Wizards, Pistons, Heat and Hawks. In addition to the Cavaliers, the other four teams are average in strength and have their own problems, especially the Heat, who suffered 6 consecutive defeats and low morale. Therefore, with the current state and strength of the Clippers, they are fully capable of pocketing the fruits of victory and hitting the first place in the West.
The Suns 98-113 Magic!A wave of seven straight wins and then suffered two straight losses, and the Pelicans tied the ranking and slipped to 6th in the West. Booker played the ultimate individual offense in both games, and played 40+ performances in a row, but personal good does not mean that everyone is good, Booker is hi and scored high, but his teammates cried and couldn't touch the ball. For example, in this game, Gordon, Allen and Eubanks, the three of them made a total of 9 out of 10 shots, and they felt good and had no right to shoot.
Looking at the reasons, first, the Suns' defense is too weak, and they can score and lose points. Second, I won't play the fourth quarter, I habitually pull my hips in the last quarter, collapse, and this problem has not been solved so far in the season. Third, the team lacks an organizational core, such as the Suns sent 22 turnovers in this game, and the Big Three had too many individual singles.
Bulls 104-96 Trail Blazers! DeRozan 20 points, White 15 points, Drummond 15 points. On the Trail Blazers' side, Ayton picked up and scored a double-double in three consecutive games, averaging 20 points and 13.7 rebounds per game, but I wonder if tomorrow's back-to-back will be able to withstand Embiid's offense?
Grizzlies 110-116 Pacers! The Grizzlies are on a three-game winning streak to put pressure on the Warriors.
Raptors 125-126 Hawks!Trae Young had 30 points and 12 assists, Sadiq Bey had 26 points and 13 rebounds, and Bogdanovic had 24 points. Barnes had 24 points, Trent 16 and Schroder 14.
