Los Houston Rockets rompieron la racha de 11 partidos seguidos ganando de los Oklahoma City Thunder y los Golden State Warriors tumbaron a los Denver Nuggets este viernes en un Oeste que está en llamas a una semana del final de la temporada regular.
Rockets 125 – Thunder 111
Los Rockets (51-27) consolidaron la segunda posición del Oeste y mandaron un serio aviso a los Thunder (64-13), que ya no podrán alcanzar las 70 victorias esta temporada. Fue un recital de Jalen Green con 34 puntos y que dejó un ‘alley op’ de espaldas para el recuerdo y de Alperen Sengun con 31.
Además, Jalen Williams anotó 33 puntos para los Thunder, mientras que Shai Gilgeous-Alexander se tuvo que conformar con 22, quedándose en blanco en el segundo y el último cuarto. Todo en un choque que a pesar de la derrota, los Thunder conservan dos partidos de margen sobre los Cavaliers para una ventaja de campo en una hipotética final entre ambos.
Lakers 124 – Pelicans 108
Los Lakers (47-30) superaron el trámite ante los Pelicans (21-56) antes de su doble enfrentamiento en Oklahoma City contra los Thunder, con los que medirán sus fuerzas a pocos días de empezar el ‘play-off’. Luka Doncic firmó 35 puntos, 6 rebotes y 6 asistencias, Austin Reaves hizo 30, mientras que LeBron James terminó con 27.
Para los Pelicans, el puertorriqueño Jose Alvarado también anotó 27. Los Lakers encabezan la lucha por la tercera plaza del Oeste, una pelea que involucra a seis equipos separados por solo dos partidos.
Warriors 118 – Nuggets 104
Los Nuggets (47-31) anotaron 44 puntos en el primer cuarto y 60 en los tres restantes, cayendo ante unos Warriors (46-31) con 36 puntos deStephen Curry. Jimmy Butler, cuya llegada a San Francisco ha cambiado la cara a los Warriors, anotó 19.
Nikola Jokic acarició otro triple-doble con 33 puntos, 12 rebotes y 9 asistencias. Los Warriors con 5 victorias consecutivas acechan a Nuggets -que acumulan 3 derrotas- y Los Angeles Lakers por la tercera plaza del Oeste.
Spurs 113 – Cavaliers 114
Los Cavaliers (62-15) se confiaron más de la cuenta en San Antonio y acabaron ganando por un solo punto un partido que dominaron de inicio a fin y llegaron a liderar de 23. Donovan Mitchell anotó 26 puntos, Evan Mobley 25 y 12 rebotes, mientras que Darius Garland anotó 19 y De’Andre Hunter 18.
Para los Spurs (32-45), que iban 16 abajo a 8 minutos del final, Stephon Castle, firme candidato a ‘rookie’ del año, acarició un triple-doble con 22 puntos, 9 rebotes y 11 asistencias. Devin Vassell anotó 24 y Harrison Barnes 23. Los Cavaliers quedan a una sola victoria de asegurar el liderato de la Conferencia Este.
Celtics 123 – Suns 103
Los Celtics (57-20) batieron el récord de triples en una temporada regular que hasta ahora tenían los Golden State Warriors de la 2022-23 con 1.363. El nuevo récord de los Celtics está ahora en 1.370 con todavía 5 partidos por jugar. Jaylen Brown anotó 31 puntos, mientras que Jayson Tatum cerró el partido con 23 puntos, 8 rebotes y 8 asistencias.
Devin Booker anotó 37 puntos para unos Suns (35-42) que acumulan 5 derrotas seguidas y dicen prácticamente adiós a la temporada ya que están a dos partidos de los Kings, que ganaron hoy.
Clippers 114 – Mavericks 91
Anthony Davis volvió a ser baja con los Mavericks (38-40) por una distensión en el aductor izquierdo, el mismo que se lesionó durante su debut en Dallas y que le tuvo apartado 18 partidos. Sin Davis, los Clippers (45-32) se impusieron con claridad en un duelo que llegaron a liderar de 35. Kawhi Leonard anotó 20 puntos para los angelinos, mientras que Ivica Zubac terminó con 14 puntos y 13 rebotes. Para Dallas, Naji Marshall anotó 22.
Con este resultado, los Clippers se aferran a la batalla por las plazas de ‘play-off’ en el Oeste, mientras que devuelven a los Mavericks a su particular pugna con los Kings para repartirse las últimas dos posiciones de ‘play-in’.
Los demás partidos de la jornada
También este viernes, los Bulls superaron 118-113 a los Blazers y recuperaron la novena posición del Este; los Kings ganaron a los Hornets 102-125, los Pistons derrotaron 105-117 a los Raptors y los Pacers se impusieron 140-112 a los Jazz, el peor equipo de la NBA.

USMNT vs Australia live updates: Pulisic off injured, Wright equalises for US in friendly, score, analysis
Christian Pulisic had remained on the U.S. bench for a few minutes, watching the game in a winter coat. At one point, he hunched over, clearly upset. Matt Turner, sitting next to him, put his left arm around Pulisic and patted him on the back. Moments later, Pulisic got up and headed to the locker room accompanied by two staffers.He was still in the open-air portion of the stadium when Wright scored, but then he continued on to the locker room. Hard to escape the feeling that he’s the biggest story tonight, no matter what happens over the next 65 minutes.

Mike Shildt’s exit, the GM’s future and the offense: Takeaways from A.J. Preller’s presser
A.J. Preller’s season-wrapping videoconference was unusual for at least two reasons.It lasted almost 45 minutes, perhaps longer than any news conference the San Diego Padres president of baseball operations had held in more than a decade. And it took place Tuesday, almost two weeks after the team saw its playoff hopes dashed in another low-scoring game at Wrigley Field.AdvertisementThere was, it turned out, a major development behind the delay.Soon after the Padres’ elimination in the National League Wild Card Series, manager Mike Shildt informed Preller that he wished to spend a week at home in North Carolina. Rather than dive right into exit interviews and preparation for the 2026 season, the baseball lifer was requesting time away from the only career he’d ever known.By then, some players and staffers already were wondering if Shildt, 57, might not return as San […]
Alex Bregman to opt out of Red Sox deal, enter MLB free agency, per report
Getty Images Veteran infielder Alex Bregman will be opting out of his contract the Boston Red Sox and becoming a free agent this coming offseason, the New York Post reports. Bregman, 31, is coming off a highly productive 2025 season for Boston in which he slashed .273/.360/.462 (128 OPS+) with 18 home runs and 28 doubles.

Last winter, Bregman turned down a higher offer from the Detroit Tigers in order to sign a shorter-term deal with the Red Sox. That deal paid him $36.67 million for 2025 and includes $41.67 […]
