Giannis and Dragic on the road to the playoffs

By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

Khris Middleton scored 14 of his season-high 30 points in the fourth quarter and the Bucks beat the Lakers 107-103 for their eighth victory in nine games with the Greek Freak doing his part with 26 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks.

Still the game will be remembered for a third-quarter fracas ended which with three ejections, and it left Los Angeles coach Luke Walton furious. Monroe, Russell and Young were ejected after the scuffle. Bosnian Mirza Teletovic added 5 points and 5 rebounds for the winners, while Croatian Ivica Zubac had 18 points and 8 rebounds for the Lakers.

The Heat downed the Minnesota Timberwolves 123-105. Slovenian Goran Dragic scored 19 points and added 10 assists for Miami, which lost Dion Waiters to a sprained ankle in the second quarter. Spaniard Ricky Rubio scored 20 for Minnesota which is moving away from the playoffs, while the Heat after this result are 8th in the East.
