Stats & Highlights | Winning return for the stars of the Clippers, the pass of three for the Thunder
December 6, 2022
Difficult for Kawhi Leonard to better succeed in his return to competition. The 2019 Finals MVP, returning as Paul George, didn’t have a huge game, but he scored the game-winning basket against the Hornets.
For the Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo did the job in the money time against the Magic, which continues to sink, when the Thunder came to seek a third victory in a row, against the Hawks.
Toronto–Boston Houston–Philadelphia Memphis–Miami Dallas–Phoenix Golden State–Indiana
Charlotte – LA Clippers: 117-119
Thanks WHO ? Thank you Kawhi Leonard! The Clippers All-Star was back, as were Paul George and Luke Kennard in Charlotte. Fortunately they were there, without forgetting Nicolas Batum and his 13 points, because Los Angeles fell into a trap match.
After being dominated in the second quarter, the Hornets react in the third. Kelly Oubre and PJ Washington scored 54 points and the game was tight until the final seconds. To mark his return in style, it was Leonard (16 points) who scored the winning basket.
Despite the many absentees (Jalen Suggs, Wendell Carter Jr., Mo Bamba), the Magic did their best against Giannis Antetokounmpo (34 points) and his band. In the first period, Orlando players still cash a 16-0 in five minutes.
The Bucks are almost twenty ahead in the third quarter, but Paolo Banchero and Markelle Fultz wake up the Magic. Except that Jamahl Mosley’s men miss important 3-point shots in the last act, then the Greek scores five points in two minutes to validate the success of his team. Ninth straight loss for Orlando.
Again this season, the Hawks have squandered a lead of more than ten points. The Thunder were relegated to 14 units in the third quarter, but the duo Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (35 points) – Josh Giddey will reverse the trend.
The first chained free throws and the second scored 12 of his 17 points in the last act. In eight minutes, Oklahoma City went 23-8 and neither Dejounte Murray nor Trae Young (47 points between them) managed to avoid defeat.
