Orlando are back to winning ways after a series of 9 defeats. The Magic, led by Tobias Harris (25 points, 11 rebounds) and Nikola Vucevic (22 points, 10 rebounds), ended his bad run, dominating the Portland Trail Blazers, 95-85. Always deprived of LaMarcus Aldridge, the franchise of Oregon conceded a 9-2 after 4 minutes of play, but under the leadership of Robin Lopez ( 20 points, 13 rebounds ), the men of Terry Stotts dominated the quarter time ( 26-23 ). Visibly exhausted from the game against the Heat, Nicolas Batum (6 pts, 9 rbs , 3 wt) and his buddies are lagging behind in the second and third quarters time ( 27-16 Q2 and 29-23 Q3). With a mattress of 20 points when approaching the last twelve minutes, Orlando manages the game to find the joy of victory since March 2. Author of 13 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, Victor Oladipo sent Mo Williams to visit the floor on a cross.

Luol Deng (19 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists) and his Cleveland teammates offered to Mike Brown his 300th victory on the bench of the franchise in Ohio. That night with 6 players 11 points and over including the starting five, the Cavaliers beat the Toronto Raptors, 102-100. With a good form in shooting during the first period ( 60%), the Cavs controlled the first two quarter times and return to the locker room with 14 -point lead ( 59-45 ). The difference will become 21 during the third quarter time. But Kyle Lowry (22 points, 10 assists) and co erase the delay and even went to the scoring 7 minutes from the end. But Cleveland does not abdicate and validate their 28th win of the season (44 losses) after a final possession poorly negotiated by Greivis Vasquez. The defeat of the Canadian franchise benefits the Bulls who seized the third place in the Eastern Conference.
We also note the slap inflicted by Los Angeles Lakers to the Knicks. The New York franchise heavily tilted at Staples Center, 127-96 with 51 points conceded during the third quarter. The California bench brought 82 units to this victory obtained under the gaze of new Knicks boss, Phil Jackson.
