On a Tuesday March 22nd day of only four games in the NBA world, the Golden State Warriors‘ worries are increasing, as the absence of Stephen Curry continues to weigh and this time they couldn’t even beat one of the worst teams of the season, the Orlando Magic.
Golden State Warriors 90-94 Orlando Magic
Franz Wagner was the hero of the game for the Magic as he scored five points in the last 12.2 seconds to turn the game around and take the win by a score of 94-90, with the result the Phoenix Suns, without playing, secured the Pacific Division title.
“I think we’re playing soft, I think we’re playing stupid,” Draymond Green said. “We’re just not playing good basketball. We’re getting punked, and we’re losing a lot of fourth quarters. No disrespect to the Orlando Magic, but they’re one of the worst teams in the league.”
Chicago Bulls 98-126 Milwaukee Bucks
After a one-game injury absence, Greece’s Giannis Antetokounmpo returned to the court to lead, as usual, the champion Milwaukee Bucks to a resounding 126-98 victory, moving them into sole possession of second place in the Eastern Conference standings.
The “Greek Freak” scored 25 rebounds and recovered 17 rebounds to record a double-double with which his team did not suffer the absence of Khris Middleton.
Atlanta Hawks 117-111 New York Knicks
Trae Young picked up where he left off in last year’s playoffs by scoring 45 points in a fabulous performance to lead the Atlanta Hawks to an important 117-111 win over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
“I think the swag and what we were able to do on the court tonight and the energy we had in the huddle, I knew it was just us versus everybody tonight,” Young said. “And I think if we have that type of mindset each and every game, we’re going to give ourselves a chance to win.”
Los Angeles Clippers 115-127 Denver Nuggets
After one of his worst performances of the season, reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic of Serbia broke out with 30 points and 14 rebounds to help the Denver Nuggets snap a three-game losing streak and defeat the Los Angeles Clippers 127-115.
