The Sacramento Kings saved by the cardboard of a spectacular and heroic Zach Lavine (43 points) against the Detroit Pistons

Sacramento ends the season pretty well and is about to validate his ticket for the play-in thanks to the performances of Zach Lavine and Demar Derozan. The two All-Stars compiled 80 points to overcome Detroit (117-127) last night. It is the third victory in a row for the Kings, who occupied the ninth place of the Western Conference with 4 more successes than the Suns, niesths.

Lavine is particularly in good shape. Author of 37 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter, the day before against the riders, he was even more sharp on Monday evening. The former Bulls player planted 43 pawns. With this time 17 of them registered in the Money Time to ensure the victory of his team. Its three consecutive three-point baskets allowed the Californian franchise to resume the lead at the start of the fourth quarter (104-106). Derozan therefore added 37 in total while the Lithuanian pivot Domantas Sabonis finished in triple-double (19 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists). Cade Cunningham scored 35 points for the pistons.

The Kel'el Ware rookie did not get involved in the fight for the trophy of best beginners of the season as we could have believed when he turned out to be a few months ago. But the young pivot of the Heat has very interesting potential and he still showed it during a victory against the Sixers (117-105). He dominated the debates by posting 19 points and 17 rebounds.

The Floridians still had trouble defeating a team from Philadelphia which is nothing like that of the start of the season. Four holders of the Sixers Tuesday evening were not even part of the workforce at the start of the fiscal year last October. Miami therefore detached himself in the fourth quarter with in particular 12 points (out of his 21 in total) of Duncan Robinson in the last 12 minutes. This is the twelfth consecutive defeat of the Pennsylvania franchise. Heat is approaching ninth place in the Eastern Conference.

Pistons – Kings : 117-127
