Hello dear Steemers, this time I bring you the newest of the fastest sports and I present the weekly summary of what happened in the best basketball league in the world, the NBA.The Westbrook, Paul George and Carmelo Anthony team stopped short at the powerful Warriors, we will also talk about the unfortunate injury of Porzingis and much more.

OKC's new victory against the powerful Warriors

High carat match in the western conference where some danger to the favorite to repeat ring and remain at the top of the NBA. Second game where the faces of Oklahoma City Thunder and Golden State Warriors with the same final, victory for the Westbrook and company by score 125 to 105 on the court of the champions. The OKC Thunder wanted to get out of the losing streak of 4 consecutive losses and came to this game with the mission to improve their defense while the Warriors now add 3 losses in four games and have suddenly come down to earth or have their minds set on other side.

Without Carmelo Anthony who left the game just beginning the first quarter with a sprained ankle, Russel Westbrook took command of his team like last season, attacking the ring without stopping, running the court every time he could, spreading adrenaline all over the board, showing why he was the MVP, with numbers of 34 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, nothing of another triple double. He had as a squire Paul George, the player who has stood out for his performance so far this season, leads the league in steals and deflected balls, categories that make the Thunder a good defensive team. The former Indiana left with spectacular numbers: 38 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 steals.

On the side of the champions who had a night to forget with 25 turnovers and were completely overcome in intensity only Kevin Durant was at the height of the commitment with 33 points and 6 rebounds, so was Draymond Green before leaving the commitment for double technical fault of so much protesting the referees, he went with numbers of 5 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. In the end for the champions it's just another game, try to do a clean slate, but for the Thunder it's just about maintaining this level throughout the whole season.

Kristaps Porzingis Injury and End of Season

The plague of injuries that is hitting the NBA this week is added another important player: The Latvian Kristaps Porzingis, suffered on Tuesday night in a game played at Madison Square Garden in New York a terrible injury, he broke the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee, ending his incredible season where he was for the first time to be part of the All Star Game to be played in 10 days in the city of Los Angeles.

The injury occurred in the second period of the game against the Milwaukee Bucks, after an easy dunk, the forward fell in a spectacular manner on the foot of Giannis Antetokounmpo. The game ended with a loss for the Knicks by 103 to 89, with this serious news it is almost impossible for the Knicks without their best player averaging 22.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game to come at the request of Playoffs, now you just have to wait and be able to have the worst record for a future election no. 1 in the next draft.

Houston Rockets team to follow

The last physical problems in the wrist and the symptoms of influenza that its star James Harden presented, the Houston Rockets continue being that equipment that can put in plots the reign of the present champions and favorites to the title the Golden State Warriors. With 5 consecutive wins and 9 wins in the last 10 games, they are the hottest team in the league today, they are only 1 game away from the Warriors' lead, Chris Paul and James Harden are demonstrating a unique chemistry that make this team a real headache to defend them, Harden averages 31.3 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists per game, while Paul averages 19.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assistances, good times are coming in the city of Houston.
