The NBA is back in full swing in Orlando following the lengthy coronavirus shutdown. 12 teams took to the court on Day 4 of the action, with plenty of talking points after what was a round of high-scoring action.
The Houston Rockets grabbed a surprise 120-116 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. While a lot was expected from the Bucks, particularly last year’s MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, Houston did a great job of patching up their shaky defense. The Rockets managed to outperform the Bucks in terms of 3-pointers as well as rebounds.
San Antonio Spurs kept their playoff hopes alive by narrowly defeating the Memphis Grizzlies 108-106. While they were in real danger of missing the playoffs for the first time what felt like forever, they’ve enjoyed a tremendous set of results since the season restart, leapfrogging the Portland Trail Blazers, New Orleans Pelicans, and Sacramento Kings to grab the number nine spot in the Western Conference standings.
The biggest winners of the day appeared to be Orlando Magic, who comfortably dismantled the Sacramento Kings 132-116. Orlando now finds themselves in 7th place on the Eastern Conference standings, with a great chance of making the playoffs.
