Embiid great streak ended, Golden State kept him at bay, Boston didn’t falter again at home

The Golden State team managed to keep the best shooter of the current season, Joel Embiid, at bay, which was the basis for the team’s victory, which was mostly due to Stephen Curry. Boston, the best team this season, took care of Indiana at home.

Embiid streak is over

In the Golden State Warriors vs. Philadelphia 76ers (119:107), the home team managed to defend the best scorer of the year Joel Embiid. After the suspended Draymond Green returned to the Warriors lineup, the team started to look dangerous and compact again.

The Golden State team needed his standard defensive performances like salt. In tonight’s game, the San Francisco team took over the game immediately during the second quarter. As a result, they managed to eliminate the dangerous Embiid, who allowed only 14 points and 7 rebounds in the game.

This ended one of the longest streaks in NBA history. It is a streak of 22 games in a row with at least 30 points. On the other hand, Stephen Curry had a great shooting performance on the home side, scoring 37 points, grabbing 9 rebounds and adding 7 assists. He also made 8 successful threes.

He was complemented by Jonathan Kuminga with 26 points and Andrew Wiggins added another 23 points. On the Philadelphia side, Tobias Harris was the most visible scorer this time with 26 points. Golden State thus notched a valuable win with the number 20 ranking. However, they are still outside the playoff positions.

Celtics win again at home

In the game Boston Celtic vs Indiana Pacers (129:124) the home team confirmed that there is no better unit this season. The Celtics played great with their starting five, led by Jayson Tatum’s 30 points and he added to the good performance with seven rebounds and assists each.

He was supported by Jaylen Brown and Derrick White scoring the most points with a combined 49 points. The Boston team controlled the game until halftime, which they won by 15 points. However, Indiana picked it up in the third quarter and cut the deficit to just 3 points. The returnee to the lineup and the best passer of the competition Tyrese Haliburton managed 13 points in 22 minutes on the floor, but most importantly he crossed the 10 assists mark again.

However, Boston worked on their defensive duties in the last quarter, got some important blocks and brought the game to a winning end. The Celtics are clearly the best team in the regular season with a 22-2 record and 37-11 overall record.
