NBA, the 7 things left from the night: Irving’s good old me is back
Kyrie Irving turned on the engines, Portis’ looks were mistreated and Seth Curry quietly gets the job done. Sportish presents the 7 things that caught the eye in the NBA at dawn.
Kyrie Irving was the good old man in the Nets’ win over Milwaukee, and Seth Curry got the job done calmly but always effectively. Portis’ three-point career record earned a win and Ja Morand returned to the classic 40s.
the Sportish presents the 7 things that caught the eye in a 7-game night in the NBA.
The game of the evening
The eastern derby between the Bucks and the Nets at the Fiserv Forum was the game that stood out in the early hours of Sunday (2/27). The replay of last year’s semifinals in the NBA saw the Nets win 126-123, a win thanks in large part to Kyrie Irving, who was pleased with 38 points, but also the Bucks’ inactivity in the final 12 minutes .
The Bucks paid for their mistakes, but also for their relaxed defense last period, and they paid for it. Irving didn’t forgive, he hit the high point of the season and Milwaukee “threw in the trash” the terrible performance of Portis (30 points), who had 8/14 three points, but also Giannis Antitokoumbo, who had another double with 29 points and 14 rebounds -Double made .
The Appearance of the Night
Ja Morand’s appearance at dawn left many gaping and gave the Grizzlies a big double against the Bulls. The young Memphis guard had 46 points with 4 rebounds and 3 assists and was unstoppable on the Chicago court as he stole the show.
The Bulls found no antidote to Morand’s offensive crescendo, he scoring in every conceivable and unlikely way and even leaving the Bulls commentator gaping. In any case, Morand is the leader of the Grizzlies and the one who seems to have fully accepted his leading role and the title of star from an early age.
Pleasant portis
The Bucks may have lost to the Nets at home, but Bobby Portis did what he doesn’t typically do on the ground. It’s a reliable solution in the bat, only this time he gave a recital from the perimeter. He had 8/14 threes, a feat that sets a career record for him.
He had 30 points and 12 rebounds overall, but that wasn’t enough for the Bucks to clear the Brooklyn Hurdle. Anyway, Portis proved he’s got it from the perimeter.
nerves = miscarriage
DeMar DeRozan had a lot of nerves with the refs after another great performance against the Grizzlies with 31 points, but it didn’t come with a win. The Chicago star erupted and angered a referee for a foul on a try that wasn’t awarded.
This resulted in him being sent off just seconds before the end of the game in an already decided match. The only thing that is certain is that the outbursts will be punished and the Bulls player understood that well.
Irving was his good old self
This season in the NBA went through 40 waves, but Irving proved on dawn in Milwaukee that he’s back forever and ready to lead the Nets’ effort. With Durand’s absence and Harden’s departure, Irving is happy to carry the weight on his back and enjoy it. He did the same against the Bucks, where he recorded his best performance of the season with 38 personal points.
Actually, he wanted to celebrate this success with his father, to whom he ran after the game and hugged him tightly.
Yang took off
The Hawks broke up the Raptors in Atlanta and owe much of that to Tre Young. The young guard did everything he could on the court, leading the Atlanta Hawks’ effort with 41 points and 11 assists. Gradually, Yang finds the rhythm he’s lacked in many matches, but his performance still has ups and downs. The sunrises decreased and it remains to be seen if he will continue the high flights or if the landing will be abnormal in the next few games.
Seth Curry isn’t Steph but finds a role in Brooklyn
The Nets were traded by the Sixers and renewed as players. The reason for Seth Curry, Steph’s brother, which of course is not compared. Seth may not be Steph, but he finds a role that suits the Nets. He is at Irving’s side to help when he needs to, often even carrying the team when asked and needed.
He did his job quietly but very effectively against the Bucks as he had 19 points with 4/8 three points, 3 assists, 1 steal and a stopper. Statistics are far from double-double and triple-However, doubles that the stars do are by no means insignificant. He plays in defense and is the player that the team and the coach trust.

Before his injury, Nikola managed to produce 21 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds in just 19 minutes on the field.

The third quarter was tied, so Orlando still had a double-digit advantage ahead of the final: 94:84. At the beginning of the match the play followed the same scenario but in the middle Toronto made a move with 15:0 and not only won it back but also took the lead with 105:102.

Barnes could not make a triple-double this time, but he did a double-double and got 13 points and 11 rebounds, while the most productive name in the victory was Shead with 19 points.

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.
