Kings blow Grizzlies, DeRozan throws a party for his 1000th game
The Kings’ big win over the Grizzlies in the western derby was the most impressive result of Monday’s games. DeRozan celebrated his personal milestone with a Bulls win while Lillard stopped the Blazers’ losing streak.
If anyone was expecting a fight in Sacramento, they were sorely missed. The Kings took advantage of the Grizzlies’ absence, “bombed” them from the periphery (22/40 three-pointers) and destroyed every opposing defensive system with a total of 37 assists, took the win and set new standards in the Western table.
On the other hand, in Chicago, the Bulls made sure not to spoil DeMar DeRozan’s party for his 1000th career game by beating the Hawks. The Hornets only had two accurate 3-pointers in Salt Lake.
Chicago Bulls-Atlanta Hawks 111-100
It was a perfect 1,000-game celebration for DeMar DeRozan, who led the Bulls to a useful 26-point win over the Hawks in Chicago. It was the third straight win for the Bulls, who had failed to build a better streak throughout the season plagued by competitive instability.

Houston Rockets-Minnesota Timberwolves 119-114
On the most productive night of his brief NBA career, Jaylen Green was delightful against the Timberwolves, ending with 42 points the Rockets’ collapsing lead in the third period and defending it in the last despite the efforts of duo Edwards and Russell (season-high), who combined 61 had scores of 12/22 three-pointers!

Utah Jazz-Charlotte Hornets 120-102
The Jazz did their duty against the Hornets and moved closer to the top six in the west with a comfortable win. Of course, the difference in this game was in the accuracy of the perimeter, because while the home team scored 48 points (16/40, 40%), the visitors scored only 6 (2/16, 12.5%)!

Portland Trail Blazers-San Antonio Spurs 147-127
In the home game against the Spurs, the losing streak of the Blazers, who had three losses in a row and were looking for an antidote, was interrupted. Gregg Popovich’s team fought back in the first half, but a 45-27 lead in the third period created a gap that couldn’t be closed thereafter. Especially since Lillard had a really good night (37 points on 7/11 3 points).

Sacramento Kings-Memphis Grizzlies 133-100
With 12 three-pointers in 13 attempts in the first period, a feat that sets a record in NBA history, and a Domantas Sabonis with a new triple-double, the Kings went into the derby with the Grizzlies.
Memphis was without the services of Morand and Adams, but the main problem was the perimeter defense, which allowed the home side to constantly create free shots by getting the best possible options. At the same time, of course, they completely slowed down the only 10 points they found in the fourth third.
With this win, the Royals firmly entered the battle for the first duo in the West and seemed able to break the dipole created with the Nuggets and Grizzlies from the start.

ADETOKUMBO: “Disrespectful. Don’t ask me this question”
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo He gave a harsh response to the question about a possible trade to another NBA club:
“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.
To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”
On the night of December 27-28, Antetokounmpo returned to the field after his calf muscle injury and became the most productive player of the game with the Chicago Bulls – 112:103.
