The days go by and do not like Kobe Bryant. After offering the victory to the Los Angeles Lakers against Memphis with a basket with 4.3 sec of the siren Tuesday, the star of the franchise in California has sealed the underside of his family to Dallas the next day. After a very close game, Bryant missed a shot at three points in 25 seconds of the end of the meeting and men of Phil Jackson have finally tilted in Texas (101-96). But Bryant, rather wheezy (20 pts to 9 / 23, 0 / 3 to three points) is not primarily responsible for this setback.
If the Lakers, who showed up this game the best record in the league, fell to Dallas, it is primarily because the talent Dirk Nowitz. Winger Mavericks, author of 31 points, took its responsibilities in the last quarter to allow its training to maintain the lead. And when the German was not the solution chosen, the Mavs could always count on Jason Terry, fit the image of his 30 points (including 4 three point shots). "That's our style of play when games are tight in the fourth quarter, it's mine, Jason Kidd or Dirk to pick up the victory. We appreciate this challenge, we did not need to change it now, " explained back in Dallas after the meeting.
THE PLAYER: Carlos Boozer (Utah):
If Dirk Nowitzki has been a leading architect of the success of Dalal on the Lakers, the best scorer of the night will Carlos Boozer. Back in form after being injured, the power forward from Utah dominated the debates in the paint during the victory over Charlotte (102-93). Boozer, benefiting also from back in the team of Deron Williams, scored 33 points with a remarkable success rate (13/16 shooting, 7 / 9 in free throw), took a mere 16 rebounds and 2 assists issued decisive. Also with an interception and two blocks to his credit, he has even met a very nice stat sheet.
THE STAT: 25298
Small consolation for Kobe Bryant. If it has not been successful against Dallas, if the Lakers bowed out in Texas, behind the franchise, however, California has reached a new level. With 20 points, he passed Reggie Miller for becoming the 13th leading scorer in NBA history with 25,298 points.
THE FRENCH:
Always decreased by a hip injury, Tony Parker was not at normal levels during the win over San Antonio Oklahoma City (95-87). The French leader was confined to six points (2 / 6 shooting) and committed five fouls in 26 minutes. Nicolas Batum held with Portland, Toronto winner (87-101). In 19 minutes, he scored 9 points (4 / 6 shooting) and made 3 rebounds. Still hampered by his injured foot, Joakim Noah played less than 7 minutes against Indiana with 5 points and 2 rebounds. The Bulls beat the Pacers (120-110). Left the bench too, Mickaël Piétrus was entitled to 26 minutes at the success of Orlando to Houston (92-110) but has scored only six points and three rebounds. Finally, Rodrigue Beaubois lost five balls in three minutes at the success of Dallas on the Lakers (101-96).
