Halfway through the NBA regular season, after 10 games in the East and West on February 13, the Eastern Conference standings are in suspense again: the big dark horse Cavaliers are lightly defeated, upset by the 76ers without Embiid, and stop winning 9 in a row; the Bucks defeated the defending champion Nuggets, sitting on the top three, and taking off the hat of the pseudo-strong team; the Knicks have broken wings and cannot fly, and the Pacers are also unfavorably reorganized.

Today's big dark horse Cavaliers paid for their arrogance, losing 121-123 to the 76ers without Embiid, failing to achieve a 10-game winning streak. The Bucks defeated the defending champion Nuggets 112-95, and they are only one win away from the second-place Cavaliers. After the Knicks Randle was injured, he lost to the Rockets 103-105 today, unfortunately suffered three consecutive defeats, and only led the 76ers by 0.5 wins, and the situation was precarious.

Today, the Bucks played against the defending champion Nuggets, and the matchup attracted much attention. I thought that the two teams would play extremely fiercely, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser, but I never thought that the Bucks would win the Nuggets 112-95, and Brother Alphabet cut the luxurious data of 36 + 18 + 5 + 3 steals + 2 blocks, which proved that the Bucks are strong teams that can fight tough battles, not a pseudo-strong team that can only abuse vegetables!
