Joel Embiid’s Philadelphia 76ers stopped the Oklahoma City Thunder’s winning streak away from home (127-123).
After six consecutive victories, Oklahoma City saw its series end at home against Philadelphia (127-123), despite a huge game from rookie Chet Holmgren (33 points, 6 rebounds, 3 blocks), and its star Shai Gilgeous- Alexander (31 points). The fault in particular is 2023 MVP Joel Embiid (35 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists) and Tyrese Maxey (28 points, 8 rebounds). Embiid, after two consecutive defeats, was notably impeccable on the free throw line during a close end to the match. Australian Thunder guard Josh Giddey, subject of an NBA investigation for allegations of a relationship with a minor, started well with his team (10 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds). OKC remains 2nd in the Western Conference, and Philadelphia 4th in the East.
Carried since the start of the season by LeBron James (38 years old), the Los Angeles Lakers managed to win in Cleveland (121-115) despite the clumsiness of the “King” (8 of 23 shooting for 22 points, 6 rebounds , 6 passes). Pivot Anthony Davis took over from his leader with 32 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks. Arriving in Philadelphia at the beginning of November from the Los Angeles Clippers, Nicolas Batum had his most successful match with his new franchise. In 32 minutes (3rd playing time for his team), he accumulated 14 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists with great three-point skill (3 out of 6). During Washington’s 9th consecutive defeat (136-108 against Atlanta), young Bilal Coulibaly (19 years old) was the Wizards’ most used player (31 minutes) and finished with 7 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.
