After Nikola Jokić and Marcus Morris caused a fuss on the field, after only a few days on the NBA courts, Rudy Gobert and Myles Turner had a problem!
Gobert and Turner “stole the show” when they ended up in a real clinch in the last quarter. As two boxers, Gobert and Turner tried to knock each other to the ground until teammates and judges approached to separate them.
As always, there were those who were more belligerent, so there was a general commotion on the floor, which eventually ended with decisions to exclude both Gobert and Turner. Joe Ingles was also removed from the match as he kicked the referee in the general circus on the floor:
Certainly, the triumph of Indiana, which continued to play on the principle of warm-cold – 111: 100, remained in the background.
It’s just that the Pacers win one game, lose another immediately afterwards, and so on. Tonight, the winning team was led by Malcolm Brogdon with 30 points and nine rebounds, while on the other side, Donovan Mitchell parried him with 26 points.
Weakened Philadelphia did not have the strength for more than an honorable defeat against the former NBA champion Toronto – 109: 115.
Toronto used that to break the match in their favor in a very even game with the final series of 8: 0.
The most efficient in the ranks of the Raptors were Fred van Vleet with 32 points, while OG Anunoby and Gary Trent scored 20 points each.
Philadelphia, on the other hand, was led by Tyrese Maxey with 33 points and Tobias Harris with 19 points with seven rebounds and assists each. In the last match of the evening, the Los Angeles Clippers managed to pull out the victory against hot Miami – 112: 109.
The Clippers led by eight points to 1:36 until the end (108: 100) and then returned the rival to the game with Ivica Zubac’s reckless fouls.
In the meantime, Miami made a series of 7: 0. Even the team from Florida could have taken the advantage if Duncan Robinson hit a three-pointer 13.6 seconds before the end, but with that miss, any further hope for victory actually went away…
The Clippers were led by Paul George with 27 points tonight, 22 were added by Reggie Jackson, while Eric Bledsoe stopped at 21.
In Miami, the standard good were Bam Adebayo with 30 points and 11 rebounds, then Kyle Lowry with 25, while Tyler Herro scored three points less.
Are Gobert and Turner the last in a series of scandals on NBA pitches?
