Boston assure

Quiet leader in the East and on track to have the best NBA record at the end of the regular season in two weeks, the Boston Celtics had an easy victory against the Charlotte Hornets (118-104), engaged in the unofficial race for “tanking”, to have the worst possible record and increase their chances during the draft. Jayson Tatum took care of his statistics with 25 points and 10 rebounds, helped by Sam Hauser (25 points) coming off the bench.

. Orlando to me chaud

The Orlando Magic trembled but finished relieved when they saw Deandre Ayton miss the winning shot at the siren, leaving Portland one point behind the Floridians (104-103). Franz Wagner had 20 points for the Magic, compared to 26 for Dalano Banton in Portland. The young Frenchman Rayan Rupert (19 years old) continues to be offered playing time while the Trail Blazers no longer have hope of playing in the play-offs.

This success allows the Magic to maintain 5th place in the Eastern Conference (44 wins – 31 losses), ahead of the Indiana Pacers (43-33), who largely beat the Brooklyn Nets (133-111).
