Jokic was the scorer of the day, Leonard had a turnover against Brooklyn. Durant’s 40 points propelled the Suns to victory

Nikola Jokic was the main contributor to his team’s victory on the Wizards’ floor after putting up his best shooting performance of the season. Kawhi Leonard made the difference late in the Clippers’ game against Brooklyn. Kevin Durant showed that he is still a force to be reckoned with, contributing 40 points to Indiana’s defeat.

Nikola Jokic was the key to the Nuggets’ victory

In the game Washington Wizards vs Denver Nuggets (104:113), another great performance by Serbian Nikola Jokic led the defending champions to victory. He scored a season-high 42 points. He also had 12 rebounds and sent 8 assists to his teammates and blocked 3 shots.

Thanks to his performance, Denver succeeded on the floor of one of the weakest teams in the league. The defending champions recorded their 30th win of the season, while the Wizards have their 35th loss of the season.

Traditionally, Jokic was followed by Jamal Murray, who scored 19 points this time. On Washington’s side, no player managed even 20 points. Kyle Kuzma was the top scorer with 17 points.

Leonard’s crushing finish was the difference in the Clippers’ victory

In the Los Angeles Clippers vs. Brooklyn Nets (125:114), the star trio of Leonard, Harden, Westbrook shined for the first time in a while. The star of the game was Kawhi Leonard, who recently signed a 3.5 billion CZK contract with the Clippers.

He was able to score 14 of his 21 points in the final minutes of the game to decide the Clippers’ victory. James Harden, the other driving force, added 24 points. And for the first time in a while, bench man Russell Westbrook was seen. He gave a flashback to his glory years.

He had 23 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists in 31 minutes on the floor. Thus, the Clippers improved their record to 27-14, while Brooklyn is out of position to guarantee a playoff spot with a negative record of 17-25.

Kevin Durant had a great performance to help beat Indiana

In the game Phoenix Suns vs Indiana Pacers (117:110), Indiana, weakened by Tyrese Haliburton (the best player in the competition), lost to the Suns. Especially thanks to the great performance of Kevin Durant. He scored 40 points.

He also added 9 rebounds and 3 blocked shots. He had a great 18/25 shooting percentage from the field. And the kicker is that he scored all 40 points from the field. He didn’t need a single free throw to break the 40-point mark.

The game’s leading scorer was traditionally Devin Booker. He recently broke the 50-point mark for the sixth time in his career. He added 26 points in tonight’s game and an already fully healthy Bradley Beal is getting back to his usual form he had in Washington.

Booker contributed 25 points in this game. The star trio of Durant, Booker and Beal contributed 91 of the Suns’ 117 points. After tonight’s win, the Suns are almost even with the Pacers 24-18 to 24-19.
