The match: Anthony Davis delivers the Mavericks 3 seconds from the buzzer
Dallas fans find it difficult to fully appreciate the arrival of Anthony Davis in Texas since she recalls the departure of Luka Donnteic, exchanged at the Lakers against the All-Star interior. But AD's results with his new team remains encouraging so far. The Mavericks won 5 of the 6 matches played by the veteran. For example, they beat the in-extremis Hawks (120-118) Wednesday evening, precisely under the leadership of Davis. The latter scored the basket to win on a drive to the circle 3 seconds from the siren.
A decisive moment that validates the high -flying performance of the star: 35 points, 15 rebounds, 5 counters and … a new injury. Rather a fright. Anthony Davis, who finally spent more time in the infirmary than on the field since his trade, was forced to stay a long time in the locker room after taking a hit (involuntary, of his teammate Daniel Gafford) near the eye. More fear than harm. Dallas is ninth to the west and stands out slightly from its first pursuers.
The players: Gilgeous-Alexander, Holmgren and Williams always so dominating
The Thunder has a very young trio composed of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams. But beyond their age, they no doubt form the best Big Three in the NBA this season. And certainly the most victorious. Oklahoma City won last night, this time against Detroit (119-103). The three major players weighed on the meeting. Gilgeous-Alexander compiled 33 points, 6 rebounds and 3 interceptions. Holmgren put 22, but with 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 6 blocks. Williams added 23 points. A trio ready to go far.
The series: and 6 for Miami, which stops Boston
The Heat finally found the formula and ends up this NBA season. The Floridian franchise therefore went to seek a sixth consecutive victory by winning against a somewhat altered Celtic team (124-103). Tyler Herro, All-Star for the first time in 2025, confirmed his current good shape by scoring 25 points in addition to his 9 assists. Bam Adebayo added 21 points and 7 Miami players reached or crossed the 10 units mark. Erik Spoelstra players ended the Boston's 9 Row Success series. They approach the eighth place in the Eastern Conference.
To the state: 50
Like the number of Rockets victories this season. A first since 2019 for the Texan franchise, which reached the symbolic and anecdotal compensation by crushing jazz (143-105). Houston also validated his ticket for the playoffs at the same time and should a priori finish second to the west.
The French: Salaün has opportunities
The Wizards won a rare victory (the 17th of the season only) against the Kings (116-111) and Alexandre Sarr obviously went from his contribution by scoring 15 points to 6 out of 9 on shots. The tricolor pivot also captured 4 rebounds and blocked a shot. Returning from G-League recently, Tidjane Salaün is a little more used by his hornets coach and he takes advantage of it. The old Choletais played 27 minutes last night. He compiled 7 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. His teammate Moussa Diabaté posted 8 points and 3 rebounds. The Hornets, on the other hand, bowed against the Pacers (119-105). Nine points for Zaccharie Risacher with Atlanta.
