[NBA] WOLVES BACK ON TOP OF THE WEST Three of the top four teams in the West were in action on Monday, resulting in another shake up in the standings. Here’s how it went down.
Lakers top Thunder: The Lakers got a combined 50 points from D’Angelo Russell (26 pts, 6 reb, 3 ast, 4 stl, 5 3s) and Anthony Davis (24 pts, 12 reb, 3 blk) to knock off the Thunder 116-104.
LeBron James (19 pts, 11 reb, 8 ast) finished two dimes shy of a triple-double, while L.A. held Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to 20 points – ending his streak of eight straight 30+ point games.
– D’Lo, Kobe and Magic: That’s the list of Lakers to have at least 25 pts, 5 reb, 5 3s and 4 stl in a game – Playoff implications (OKC ⬇️): The loss drops the Thunder to second in the West, a half-game back of Minnesota. OKC and Denver are tied at 42-19, with the Thunder owning the head-to-head tiebreaker (3-1 season series) – Playoff implications (LAL ⬆️): The Lakers jump the Warriors for ninth in the West and move within a game of Dallas for eighth
Wolves end two-game slide: Minnesota avoided its first three-game losing streak of the season with a 119-114 win over Portland behind Rudy Gobert’s big night (25 pts, 16 reb, 3 blk) and Mike Conley’s 19 points and seven dimes. Anfernee Simons led all players with 34 points and 14 assists but it wasn’t enough to give Portland its first three-game win streak since November.
– Playoff implications (MIN ⬆️): The Wolves leapfrog the Thunder back to the No. 1 spot in the West with their win combined with OKC’s loss
Bucks win 6th straight: Milwaukee used a 23-10 fourth-quarter run to complete a 15-point comeback to defeat the Clippers 113-106 despite being without Giannis Antetokounmpo (Achilles tendinitis). Damian Lillard (41 pts) posted his third 40+ point game of the season, while Bobby Portis added 28 points, 16 boards and one shimmy after cutting the lead to 3 with the home crowd chanting his name.
Paul George and James Harden scored 29 apiece for the Clippers, who drop to 3-4 since NBA All-Star, while the Bucks remain unbeaten.
Playoff implications (MIL and LAC ↔️): The Bucks hold No. 2 in the East, with a one-game lead over Cleveland. The Clippers hold No. 4 in the West, but fall two losses back of the Wolves and Nuggets
