By George Efkarpides / info@eurohoops.net

After beating the Jazz 99-91 the Nuggets improved to 21-17 on the season and are in sixth place, just a half game behind the Thunder. The “Joker” had 8 points, 10 boards, 4 assists and a steal in 32 minutes and had a nice all-around performance.

Ricky Rubio scored 15 points for the losing side.

Marc Gasol’s impressive outing fell short as the Wizards beat the Grizzlies 102-100 in Memphis. The Spanish star had 17 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks and continues to be a one-man show for a falling Memphis team.

Marcin Gortat had 8 points and 5 boards for the winning side.

Jonas Valanciunas got the best of Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks as the Lithuanian center scored 20 points and added 13 rebounds in an easy 129-110 win in Milwaukee.

Giannis Antetokounmpo continued his MVP campaign with another solid performance as he finished the game with 25 points, 5 boards, 5 assists and 2 steals.
