Dan prije 37. rođendana LeBron James je zabio 37 koševa (13/25) Memphisu, ali ni to nije pomoglo Lakersima protiv Memphisa za kojeg je Ja Morant odigrao sjajno – zabio je 41 (13/27) i uzeo 10 skokova. Lakersi su imali 80-66 sredinom treće četvrtine, izgubili su 104-99.  James je imao i 13 skokova i 7 asistencija, Russell Westbrook je upisao novi triple-double s 16 koševa (7/16), 12 asistencija i 10 skokova, međutim Lakersi jednostavno ove sezone nisu dobra momčad, u zadnjih sedam utakmica imaju samo jednu pobjedu i ukupni omjer 17-19, Memphis ima 22-14.

Ja Morant and LeBron James became the third pair of opponents in @NBAHistory to each put up 35+ points, 10+ rebounds, and 6+ threes in a game, as Memphis topped LA in a thriller!@JaMorant: 41 PTS, 10 REB, 6 3PM (career high)@KingJames: 37 PTS, 13 REB, 7 AST, 8 3PM pic.twitter.com/F36oQmUqP3

LA Clippersi bez ozlijeđenog Paula Georgea ne igraju sjajno, međutim kad igraš protiv ekipe koja za tricu šutira 4/42 (!!!) onda jednostavno moraš pobijediti. Boston je bio bez Jasona Tatuma i Marcusa Smarta, na 74-73 su imali zadnje vodstvo ali Eric Bledsoe je u zadnjem periodu zabio 10 koševa i prelomio utakmicu na stranu Clippersa. Marcus Morris s 23 koša (9/21) i 10 skokova najbolji kod Clippersa za koje je Ivica Zubac ubacio tek jedan koš (0/3) za 30 minuta ali je učinak popravio s velikih 14 skokova. Boston je imao samo dva igrača s 10+ koševa, Jaylen Brown 30 (13/36) i Robert Williams 16 (8/10) i 14 skokova.

Jaylen Brown shot 13-36 from the field and did not record an assist tonight against the Clippers.

His 36 FGA without a single assist are the most by any player in a game since Antoine Walker shot 21-36 with 0 assists against the Wizards in 1998. pic.twitter.com/JF6wowuviO

Devin Booker (25 godina i 60 dana) je protiv Oklahome zabio 38 (12/24) i postao sedmi najmlađi NBA igrač koji je dohvatio 10 tisuća koševa, ovih šest su LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Tracy McGrady i Giannis Antetokounmpo. Lijepo društvo. Phoenix je pobijedio Thunder s 115-97 i s 27-7 se izjednačio s Golden Stateom na vrhu lige. Oklahoma bez Shai Gilgeous-Alexandera, Josha Giddeya i Jeremiaha Robinson-Earla nije imala puno šansi.

Devin Booker is the 7th-youngest player in NBA history to score 10,000 points, behind only LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Tracy McGrady and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

He joins LeBron and KD as the only players with 10,000 Pts and 800 3PM before turning 26. pic.twitter.com/vFVy7bDByU
