NBA Euro-watch: Giannis and Marc not enough

By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

James Harden scored 31 points and Chris Paul had 25 and the Rockets beat the Milwaukee Bucks 115-111 for their 13th straight victory. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 28 points, nine rebounds, five assists and four steals for Milwaukee which has lost three in a row after winning six of seven.

Boston opened the final frame with 16 straight points to pull away from the Memphis Grizzlies for a 102-93 victory, despite Marc Gasol who led Memphis with 30 points and 10 rebounds.

Manu Ginobili hit once more a game winner for the Spurs, rallying for a 98-96 victory over the Mavericks despite their amazing German duo. Maxi Kleber had 21 points and Dirk Nowitzki added 19 for Dallas in the final regular season matchup between the Southwest Division rivals.

Last but not least, James had 29 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for his 60th career triple-double Cleveland beat the short-handed Utah Jazz 109-100. Turk Cedi Osman registered a career high in the NBA with 10 points and former Fenerbahce center Ekpe Udoh started for the Jazz, replacing  injured Rudy Gobert (sprained ligament and bone bruise in left knee).
