Basketball: Nba; Sixers and Nets collapse, Utah – Sport does not stop

(ANSA) – ROME, FEBRUARY 28 – The sensational defeat for 112-109 of Philadelphia, leaders of the Eastern Conference, by the Cleveland Cavaliers, penultimate in the standings, is the main note of tonight’s round in the NBA. Joel Embiid’s super performance did not help the Sixers, who alone signed 42 points and 12 rebounds. Second unexpected knockout of this round is that of the Nets who interrupted the streak of eight successes in a row, losing to the Mavericks 115-98. On the other hand, Utah Jazz’s run at the head of the Western Conference does not stop: after the defeat of the previous round was archived, Utah resumed winning tonight, beating Orlando Magic 124-109. Denver outside win over Oklahoma for 126-96, while the Spurs beat the Pelicans for 117-114. All unchanged at the top of the rankings: to the east the Sixers lead the Nets, to the west the Utah Jazz ahead of the Clippers. (HANDLE).
