J.Valančiūnas extended the “Grizzlies” season with a powerful triple-double



[ad_1]

The critical victory in the National Basketball Association (NBA) was won by the Memphis Grizzlies team (34/39) in the Orlando bubble 119: 106 (22:21, 38:29, 33:24, 26:32) defeated the Milwaukee Bucks club (56/17).

The Grizzlies scored the first seven points of the game, and the approximate first-half result does not show actual video on the field. The Memphis club took the initiative and never left opponents ahead.

Jonas Valančiūnas Even before the long break, he improved his career passing record, which previously stood at just 5. The “Grizzlies” escaped after the rivals by 23 points (92:69), and the Lithuanian continued his good game and collected the first triple-double of his career.

Uteniškis scored a total of 26 points in 33 minutes (9/14 doubles, 2/3 triples, 2/2 penalty shots), bounced 19 balls, made 12 assists, blocked the shot, made 3 errors and fouled.

J.Valančiūnas suddenly did not become a Nikola Jokičius-type midfielder: he collected most of the effective passes by taking the ball from his hands at the three-point line and attacking immediately, and the shots fell well. Two episodes in which a Lithuanian made an attack on ranged opponents also turned into a spoon in the tar barrel.

Until this season, no Lithuanian in the NBA had a triple-double, and now both Domantas Sabonis and J. Valančiūnas managed to do it right away.

Not only that, the other Grizzlies player Ja Morantas also had a triple-double. It is true that their numbers were much more modest and the blow is not enviable: only 5 of 17 shots hit the target “out of the game”.

The Bucks had already secured the title of best team of the regular season before this game. Team star Giannis Antetokounmpo missed the match due to a front suspension by Moritz Wagner, with a break for Ersan Ilyasova and George Hill.

A loss in the game would have ended the Memphis club season, and the victory guaranteed at least one more game – the Grizzlies in an additional series for a playoff spot against the Portland Trail Blazers or the Phoenix Suns.

Dollars: Brook Lopez 19 (9th req., 2/8 triples), Frank Mason 18 (8th ed., 3/6 triples), Donte DiVincenzo 17 (3/5 triples), Chris Middleton 14, DJWilson 12 (8 times).

Grizzlies: Dillonas Brooksas 31 (4/7 triples), Jonas Valančiūnas 26 (19 reps, 12 res.), Ja Morantas 12 (13 reps, 10 res.), Kyle Anderson (6 res.) And Brandon Clarke (ed. 7) later from 10.
