A fantastic individual night did not translate into a triumph for Bring young, which fell 131 to 136 in Portland with their Atlanta hawks despite scoring 56 points, this season’s top points in the NBA.
The scoring recital of Young was countered by some Blazers incredibly effective who saw the bet of Atlanta and they decided to upload it. Up to four local players scored 20 or more points last night, in a great team win.
Shone, above the rest, Anfernee Simons. The escort took advantage of the absences of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum to exploit and lead the team on what was their best night to date in the league: 43 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists.
The defenses were conspicuous by their absence and this was demonstrated by the success rates at the end of the match, especially on the side of the Blazers. The two teams scored above 52% and also, Portland made 44% of his triples tried.
Much fault was his own Simons, who made 9 of his 16 shots from the line of three. Nassir little, with 4/5 3-pointers, he also helped propel the hit from the perimeter for the locals.
What about the Hawks? Young and nothing else. Clint Capela he caught another of his “perfect games”, scoring 22 points without failure (10/10) and grabbing 11 rebounds, but his impact faded as the minutes passed.
It was Bring young the one that kept them in the game with a fantastic shooting series. I note 17 of his 26 releases, including 7 of 12 on 3s and the 15 free throws he attempted during his 37 minutes on the court. In addition, he distributed 14 assists to end up with a spread of +10.
Unfortunately, it was shown that a single player is not enough to seal the victory. More, when the rival raises a match above 130 points. The Hawks fall again and move away from 50% balance, while Portland takes air in the West.
