In control in Brooklyn, the Spurs get their 11th straight win

Spurs’ winning streak continues. In Brooklyn, the Texans signed their 11th consecutive success, winning without major difficulties (110-126). For the third night in a row, Victor Vembanyama (12 points on 3/9 shooting) didn’t need a great offensive night.

Around the French, six players, including all starters, finished with 12 points or more. Thanks to its external address, Julian Champagne was the most inspiring of all (26 points), when Stephen Castle was especially active at the free throw line (18 points, 10/12 at the line).

We will remember the double-double from Michael Porter Jr (25 points and 14 rebounds) and exit to 13 points Nolan Traorewho seemed particularly motivated in his France-France duel by scoring his team’s first five points. But the Nets rookie didn’t weigh much against Texas’ hitting power.

After 12 minutes of the game, with Champagne’s wrist already very hot, the visitors had an advantage of 14 points (22-36). In the second quarter, while the same Champagne allowed himself to match Porter Jr. from behind for a 3-pointer, Noah Clowney signed a good pass from behind the arc.

Michael Porter Jr. is busy making baskets

Again not enough, while Dylan Harper found a cutting Stephon Castle in transition, the author of a big dunk despite the opponent’s foul (37-54). After that, after Victor Wembanyama took a kick to the stomach from Porter Jr., the Spurs continued to increase the tempo. Champagnie thus inherited a good shot in the corner for 3 points, and De’Aaron Fox easily finished “coast to coast” (52-71).

After going to the locker room, Porter Jr. signed a big pass and brought his team back to within two possessions (69-75). Despite the offensive activity (15 points in a row!), the local leader again saw that the rivals avoided the result.

Devin Vassell sent “Wemby” into the “alley-oop”, then Fox chained several finishes in the circle, then punished from afar, like Harrison Barnes or Keldon Johnson to increase the deficit to 20 points (80-100). The guests could manage this lead without fear in the last quarter.

WHAT TO REMEMBER

– Another point for Nolan Traore. We won’t say that he won the duel with Victor Vembanyama by scoring something more than him, but the Nets leader confirmed his current good form by signing another 10-plus point outing. Over the past eight games, he has already averaged 14 points and 6 assists, along with good shooting skills (46% including 36% from distance). What was still missing was “Wembey”, who entered the match with 12 points (3/12) against the Raptors. Not really inspired by “scoring”, Alien was no less eclipsed by 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks.

– A perfect Spurs month! As the Texans don’t play again in February, they just finished this month of competition without the slightest defeat: 11 wins in as many matches! San Antonio football players are on the longest winning streak of 13 consecutive victories in the 2015/16 season. ” Players seem to find different ways to win. It is a sign of progress “, they can congratulate Mitch Johnson, whose team continues on the floor of the Knicks on Sunday before traveling to Philadelphia on Tuesday. The Spurs then welcome a host of high-level opponents (Pistons, Clippers, Rockets, Celtics, Nuggets, etc.).
