NBA Highlights, Highlights: Magic upsets the Raptors without Kawhi Leonard, the Knicks stop a series of 18 home defeats



[ad_1]

There were only three NBA action matches on Sunday, and unfortunately none of them was very close.

To get the day off to a good start, the Magic surprised the Toronto Raptors to a big win in their quest for the playoffs. It should be noted, however, that the Raptors were playing without Kawhi Leonard.

The next step was the Clippers' trip to Denver to face the Nuggets, which, on paper, should have been the game of the day. The Nuggets however dominated the match, winning by 27 points.

Finally, to close the night, the Knicks resisted the Spurs thanks to the strong performance of their young players. It was the Knicks first win at home since December 1, after a run of 18 defeats at Madison Square Garden.

Jokic shows his pass ability

Nikola Jokic is more than seven feet tall, but he's a playmaker. He once again showed his smuggling skills in the Nuggets win over the Clippers, throwing a great lead to Gary Harris. Jokic did not get help for the game and only had three at night, but added 22 points and 16 rebounds in the Nuggets victory.

DSJ passes the glass to Robinson

Dennis Smith Jr. and Mitchell Robinson allied to score an exclamation point in the Knicks' first win at home since Dec. 1. After the break, in the closing seconds, DSJ threw the ball to Robinson, who forced him to a big one.

Ross rides clutch for the Magic

The Magic won a big win on Sunday afternoon beating the Raptors in Toronto. Now 8-2 in their last 10 games, they are more than a Hornets game for eighth place in the East. Terrence Ross, who scored 11 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter, opened the door for the Raptors.

Knox and Robinson meet on back-to-back slams

Two members of the Knicks rookie class showed their chemistry against the Spurs. First, Kevin Knox found Mitchell Robinson for an alley, then Robinson returned the favor with a good wire to Knox for a slam.

Harrell cradles the edge

Showzl Harrell has been a revelation for the Clippers this season. He is a hard worker and a great athletic, which allows him to make such games.

Isaac takes flight

Jonathan Isaac has been playing for some time in basketball fort, which he kept Sunday against the Raptors. The highlight of his day was easily this big alley open on the fastbreak.

Plumlee goes from the glass

Mason Plumlee is not really a 3-point shooter, but he pulled one against the Clippers and managed to do it thanks to the back panel.
