Chicago was heavily tilted in Orlando last night. A match in which Mike Pietrus did not participate. Derrick Rose is about him out through injury. Ronny Turiaf was also fixed and Golden State has lost to a Blazers Brandon Roy prolific.
The match of the night : Orlando-Chicago:
It goes wrong from bad to worse for the Bulls. Not content with bowing in larger widths in Orlando last night (111-82), they lost Derrick Rose in the first quarter of game time. The latter was wounded in the wrist after contact with Dwight Howard. Already deprived of Luol Deng (calf) and Joakim Noah (foot), Chicago has not supported this new blow. Vince Carter (23 pts) and others had already taken off after the first quarter (28-17). They killed any form of suspense in the second (37-16, 4 / 17 with shots for Chicago) and returned to the locker room with 32 steps ahead (65-33). Dominating in rebounds (46-29), with clever shots (55.1%), the Floridians were more worried by the result. Chicago went well after a 15-1 break, but Orlando scored the last eight points of the third quarter of time to attack the last 75-51.
Stan Van Gundy has been able to turn his quietly effective and none of his players have played more than 28 minutes apart JJ Reddick (11 pts). It has even been bullied by the public of the Amway Arena for not appealed within Adonal Foyle, the only member of his roster that has not played this season! Dwight Howard finished with 12 pts and 6 rebounds in 20 minutes. 14 points for Matt Barnes and 11 rebounds to the credit of Marcin Gortat. Hit in the neck, Mike Pietrus could not attend the festival. James Johnson has meanwhile been the Bulls' leading scorer with 13 units. This victory, the seventh in a row, allowing Orlando, second most ever in the East, back to four and a half games of Cleveland. Chicago, which is six defeats, is relegated to a half game and eighth in the Eastern Conference one month from the end of the regular season.
The night of Frenchies :
Among the packages Ronny Turiaf (knee), Joakim Noah (foot) and Mike Pietrus (neck), there remained a French on the floors of the NBA: Nicolas Batum. The winger has not caught fire in attack against the Warriors defense Gruyere (6 pts, 2 / 5), but the Blazers were finally imposed in Oracle Arena as they were short by 13 points at 'began the last quarter (83-96, final score 105-110).
N. Batum (Por-GS, 105-110): 6 pts, 2 / 5, 4 rbs, 1 pd, 2 co, 21 min
R. Turiaf (GS-Por, 105-110): Injured (knee)
Mr. Piétrus (Orl-Chi, 111-82): Hurt (neck)
J. Noah (Orl-Chi, 111-82): Wounded (arch)
The MVP of the night :
If Portland has emerged from the trap set by the Warriors, it was largely thanks to Brandon Roy. The latter took advantage of the largesse of its opponents to record 41 points to 14 of 22 in addition to his 8 rebounds. His 4 losses balls are just tarnish his performance. He allowed his men to avoid sinking to face machine guns Oakland in the first three quarter-time (38 pts before the last quarter). But it was the Blazers defense that deserves the honors for having conceded only 9 points in the last 12 minutes.
B. Roy: 41 pts, 14/22, 8 rbs, 3 feet, 2 int, 1 Co, 42 min
Remember also :
Atlanta went to Washington to win in a match originally scheduled February 6, but postponed because of snow at the time (105-99). Jamal Crawford has been the great man of the game (29 pts). LeBron James will certainly be on the floor of the Q Arena tomorrow night to face Philadelphia, who has missed two games with an ankle injury. The news is not as good for Antawn Jamison. Former Washington player, hit his left knee, is very doubtful for this game. Hit the left thigh, Michael Beasley itself could miss the next game in Miami against the Bulls. Finally, Gilbert Arenas has taken steps to change his number for next season. Suspended for the remainder of 2009-2010, Agent Zero will be number 6 after the summer and will have to find another nickname ...
The results of the night :
Washington -Atlanta 105-99
Orlando-Chicago 111-82
Golden State -Portland 105-110
