Los Cleveland Cavaliers no dieron opción este miércoles a los New York Knicks, Anthony Davis puso la guinda a su doble doble de 34 puntos con la canasta decisiva para el triunfo de los Dallas Mavericks y Shai Gilgeous Alexander encadenó su partido seguido número 69 con al menos veinte puntos en la jornada NBA.
CAVALIERS 124 – KNICKS 105
Los Cleveland Cavaliers del entrenador español Kenny Atkinson arrollaron a los Knicks en un cruce entre respectivamente líderes y terceros de la Conferencia Este para incrementar su balance a 61-15 y seguir apuntando a su récord absoluto de victorias en una temporada regular (66).
El equipo de Kenny Atkinson sellará la mejor marca de su historia en la temporada regular si consigue ganar los seis partidos que les faltan antes del comienzo de los ‘playoffs’.
Donovan Mitchell lideró a un grupo de seis jugadores con dobles dígitos con sus 27 puntos, seis rebotes y cinco asistencias. Jarrett Allen aportó 21 puntos (10 de 11 en tiros de campo) y ocho rebotes, Darius Garland contribuyó con 17 puntos y De’Andre Hunter consiguió 16 puntos saliendo del banquillo.
Los Knicks siguen sin poder ganar contra los ‘grandes’ de la NBA y se quedaron terceros en el Este con un balance de 48-28, con la amenaza de una primera ronda de los ‘playoffs’ contra los Milwaukee Bucks del griego Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Sin Jalen Brunson, que sigue sin conocer los tiempos necesarios para su completa recuperación de una lesión de tobillo, los Knicks contaron con 25 puntos y trece rebotes del dominicano Karl Anthony Towns y 23 de OG Anunoby.
MAVERICKS 120 – HAWKS 118
Anthony Davis lideró a los Mavericks con un doble doble de 34 puntos y 15 rebotes, culminado con la canasta decisiva a tres segundos del final, y Klay Thompson aportó 17 puntos (5 triples) para que los texanos lograran una trabajada victoria en casa contra los Hawks y dieron un importante paso en su pugna por el ‘play-in’.
Ya sin Luka Doncic, traspasado a Los Ángeles Lakers, ni Kyrie Irving, de baja por una lesión de cruzado, los Mavs están luchando con todo para aferrarse a sus opciones de postemporada, son novenos y tienen dos victorias de ventaja sobre los Phoenix Suns, undécimos. La décima plaza es la última que da acceso al ‘play-in’.
THUNDER 119 – PISTONS 103
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander selló 33 puntos y encadenó su partido número 69 con al menos 20 puntos, lo que le permitió igualar la cuarta racha más larga de la NBA, hasta ahora ostentada por Michael Jordan.
El récord es de 80 y lo consiguió Wilt Chamberlain.
Los Thunder, líderes del Oeste, tumbaron a unos Pistons que no pudieron contar con su estrella, Cade Cunningham. Tim Hardaway Jr fue el mejor, con 23 puntos.
CELTICS 103 – HEAT 124
Sin el dominicano Al Horford, Jrue Holiday ni Kristaps Porzingis, los Celtics se estrellaron en el TD Garden contra los Miami Heat. El equipo de Joe Mazzulla, que había ganado 37 de los 41 partidos jugados en casa el año pasado, tiene un balance de 24-13 en el Garden en esta temporada.
Tyler Herro guió la victoria de los Heat con 25 puntos, apoyado por los 21 de Bam Adebayo. Seis jugadores de Miami acabaron con dobles dígitos.
Los Celtics tuvieron una noche muy deslucida, sobre todo desde el arco (12 de 43). Jaylen Brown metió 24 puntos y Jayson Tatum aportó 16.
ROCKETS 143 – JAZZ 105
Los Rockets se dieron un festín en casa contra los Jazz y sellaron su billete para los ‘playoffs’ de Oeste.
Jalen Green fue el máximo anotador con 22 puntos y el turco Alperen Sengun rozó el triple doble con 15 puntos, 14 rebotes y 9 asistencias. Jabari Smith aportó un doble doble de quince puntos y catorce rebotes saliendo del banquillo.
CLIPPERS 114 – PELICANS 98
Los Clippers mantienen la pelea por la clasificación directa a los ‘playoffs’ tras imponerse en casa a los Pelicans con 28 puntos de Kawhi Leonard y un doble doble de 21 puntos y diez asistencias de James Harden.
Los angelinos tienen un balance de 44-32 y están empatados en la sexta plaza con Memphis Grizzlies y Minnesota Timberwolves.
En los Pelicans, ya sin opciones de postemporada, el puertorriqueño José Alvarado firmó 17 puntos y 10 asistencias.
NUGGETS 106 – SPURS 113
Tras perder contra los Minnesota Timberwolves en una doble prórroga apenas 24 horas antes, los Nuggets rotaron al serbio Nikola Jokic y Aaron Gordon, además de no poder contar con Jamal Murray, y cayeron contra los Spurs.
Fue el banquillo de los texanos en marcar la diferencia, al aportar 47 puntos por los 23 del de Denver. Sandro Mamukelashvili lideró a tres suplentes de los Spurs con dobles dígitos con un doble doble de 16 puntos y diez rebotes.
En los Nuggets, Russell Westbrook firmó 30 puntos, 11 rebotes y 6 asistencias.
Además, los Indiana Pacers ganaron por 119-105 a los Charlotte Hornets, con 22 puntos de Tyrese Haliburton, los Washington Wizards doblegaron 116-111 a los Sacramento Kings.

Bill Belichick’s UNC misses bowl eligibility after trick play by Duke
When Bill Belichick was introduced as UNC head coach 11 long months ago, he revealed, joked or lied that his first words as a child were "Beat Duke."His program fell short of that goal on Saturday, and the result is a disappointing season will officially end next weekend. The Tar Heels lost to Duke 32-25, pushing their record down to 4-7 and leaving them unable to reach bowl eligibility next week against NC State.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt wasn't just any loss to their biggest rivals either. At home, UNC had come back from down 24-10 to take a 25-24 lead early in the fourth quarter. That remained the score until the final three minutes, when the Blue Devils lined up for a go-ahead field goal that would have given the Tar Heels the ball back with more than two minutes left and a […]
Washington Spirit vs. Gotham FC, NWSL Championship: Trinity Rodman’s status hangs over title match
Two star-studded teams in the Washington Spirit and Gotham FC will meet in San Jose for the NWSL Championship, a competitive match likely in store as each side chases their second league title, but the big question looms -- will Trinity Rodman play?The pair took contrasting roads to the NWSL Championship, the No. 2 seed Spirit advancing as the favorites in their matchups while Gotham played spoiler as the No. 8 seed, eliminating the runaway NWSL Shield winners in the Kansas City Current and last year's champions Orlando Pride.

Bills RB Ty Johnson fined $10,777 for pelvic-thrust TD celebration in win over Bucs
The NFL has fined Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson $10,777 for "obscene gestures" as part of a crackdown on unsportsmanlike conduct. Johnson did a thrust-heavy celebration after scoring a go-ahead touchdown in the Bills' win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11.With less than a minute left in the first half, Johnson broke away on third-and-5 to sprint 52 yards for the touchdown. To celebrate, Johnson grabbed his leg, seemingly pretending to have sustained an injury (à la the Kansas City Current's Lo'eau LaBonta), and fell before grinding his pelvis against the ground twice.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBuffalo went on to win the game, 44-32, behind a six-touchdown night from quarterback Josh Allen.The fine comes a couple of weeks after Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle was fined $14,491 for a similar celebration. Dowdle did "two pumps" (i.e., thrusted his pelvis twice) […]
Kyle Shanahan says Brandon Aiyuk’s guarantees were voided in July: ‘It takes a lot to get a contract voided’
The news that Brandon Aiyuk has likely played his last game for the San Francisco 49ers was a surprise on Friday, but the situation has apparently been simmering for months.Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan declined to say what specifically led to a falling out between team and player — there was a report of frustrations over Aiyuk failing to participate in team meetings and other activities — while claiming the contract battle was out of his hands:"I'm not going to get into the specifics of that. There were a number of things from July that, to me, is more of the business side, dealing with lawyers and stuff, and contracts. Stuff that is really not my area of expertise."Aiyuk has spent all season on the physically unable to perform list with a knee injury, which […]
