The National Basketball Association played four regular season games.
Five matches did not know the joy of victory in the regular championship NBA Phoenix. During this time, the team slipped from the top of the Western Conference standings to the middle of it. And last night, “solar” managed to interrupt this unpleasant streak.
It happened in a guest match against the Clippers. Note that the fate of this match was decided in the first half, where the visitors won 64:37. Hosts cannot recover such backlog. The final siren set 111:95 – in favor of Phoenix.
Let’s also note the heavy defeat suffered by one of the leaders of the championship – Milwaukee. The “deer” was beaten at Memphis 101:142.
