The Spanish representation in the NBA has lived a night of contrasts with the victories of Toronto Raptors against Atlanta Hawks (117-122) and Denver Nuggets against Minnesota Timberwolves (100-107) and the defeats of Phoenis Suns against San Antonio Spurs ( 118-120) and Charlotte Hornets against Orlando Magic (83-106) on the day honoring Martin Luther King.
In Atlanta, the Raptors let out a wide advantage and had to wait at the last minute to resolve their victory over the Hawks with prominence for Marc Gasol (14 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists) and Serge Ibaka (8 points, 7 rebounds and 1 Stole).
In fact, the Canadian team dominated for 14 in the absence of just over two minutes (100-114), but Trae Young, who left another sensational performance with 42 points and 15 assists, led the unexpected load of the hosts in the last plays .
With the local star at full capacity, Atlanta reached two when there were 34 seconds left (113-115), but the Raptors prevented the comeback from finishing thanks to five points followed by Fred VanVleet. The base (20) and Norman Powell (27) were the best visitors at the State Farm Arena.
A similar script was lived in Phoenix, where the Suns lost 16 in the last quarter (87-103) and ended up having a triple on the horn to take the victory against the Spurs.
Ricky Rubio (15 points, 9 assists) led this comeback attempt along with DeAndre Ayton (25 and 12 rebounds) and Devin Booker (37), who could not score the last pitch that would have triggered the euphoria at the Talking Stick Resort Arena. Derrick White (25) and Brin Forbes (24) were the best in Texans.
In addition, the Hernangómez brothers again enjoyed little prominence with their teams. Thus Willy added 8 points and 2 rebounds in 12 minutes in another overwhelming defeat of the Hornets, while Juancho captured 1 rebound in 6 minutes in Minnesota, where the Nuggets signed a worked victory.
