Phoenix did it again. Already winners of Utah, two days earlier in Arizona, the Suns again made the Jazz bite the dust (105-97), this Wednesday, this time on the floor of Salt Lake Arena, on the occasion of the reunion between the two teams. Deprived of its two leaders Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell, Utah could not do anything once again against the leader of the Western Conference, still carried by a huge Devin Booker. Author of 43 points, including 21 in the first half, the Phoenix star back even allowed himself to pass break his career high in rebounding, with 12 catches in this game. The Suns, again unstoppable, have not lost for eight games.

The series also continues for Cleveland, Wednesday winner of its third game in a row. However, the Cavs have rubbed shoulders with a big chunk, facing defending champion Milwaukee and his big armada. An opposition that did not prevent the Cavs and a Kevin Love in great shape off the bench (25 points to 5 of 9 three-pointers, 9 rebounds, 2 assists) from afford the Bucks at home (115-99) and thus sign a third victory in a row. Giannis Antetokounmpo (26 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists) and his family stop.

By moving to Ohio, the champions saw themselves yet chaining a fourth success. They will come back. Charlotte probably had no idea what fate would hold for her either. this evening of all records for the Hornets, Wednesday during the trip to Indiana. Winners on the incredible score of 158 to 126, the players of North Carolina and their man of the evening LaMelo Ball (triple-double 29 points, 13 assists, 10 rebounds) have not only scored more points than anyone in franchise history, but they also broke another record for charlotte, with 87 points scored in the second half alone. Author of a dizzying match off the bench (39 points to 10 out of 15 at three points), Kelly Oubre Jr also offered himself a record for a substitute. Records, New York is very far from it at the moment. The Knicks once again fell back into their ways, on the Miami floor, where there was no real match (110-96 for the Heat). Evan Fournier got in tune with the other members of the major five, with just 7 points and 2 rebounds for the Frenchy at 2 of 7 on shots.
