NBA: Houston and Dallas lose, Luka Doncic injured
James Harden’s 39 points are not enough for the Houston Rockets, who suffered their ninth straight season loss after being defeated inside the Toyota Center by the Detroit Pistons 107-115.
In addition to 39 points, Harden collected 6 rebounds and 7 assists, but Houston slipped to fifth in the Western Conference with this loss. After four consecutive wins the Los Angeles Clippers were defeated 109-106 by the Chicago Bulls at United Center in a game where the top seeded native was Zac LaVine of 31 points.
A very fought match was the one at Dallas American Airlines Center where the Texans suffered their 8th season defeat after being defeated 118-122 after the Miami Heat overtime to reach 19th.
Injury to Slovenian star Luka Doncic after just 1 minute 40 seconds disrupted Dallas’ plans, with Hardaway’s 28 points not enough for Dallas, while Florida’s 27-point standout Jimmy Butler. Easy successes for the Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors who defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 125-108 and Brooklyn Nets 110-102, respectively.
