NBA Weekly Roundup 7

It ended another week of the NBA that did not have big surprises in the table and that keeps the Boston Celtics at the top and the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns chasing them very closely.

The Celtics snapped a 5-game winning streak when they lost to the Miami Heat, similar to what happened to the Bucks, who had 3 wins in a row but were defeated by the Los Angeles Lakers.

For their part, the current champions, Golden State Warriors, continue to improve and have 5 wins in their last 6 games and are now third in the Pacific Division.

Luka Doncic continues to show that he is one of the best players in the league, averaging 33.4 points per game, but he has not been able to carry the Dallas Mavericks, who are currently 10th in the Western Conference.

Another one that improved was LeBron’s Lakers, who have 3 wins in a row and are getting closer to the playoff spots. Anthony Davis is precisely the leader in rebounds in the NBA with 12.8 per game.
