MADRID, 28 Dec. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spaniards Santi Aldama, Juancho Hernangómez and Usman Garuba did not have their best night in the NBA this Tuesday, since in addition to their low contribution performances, none of them could enjoy the victory with their respective teams .
The Gran Canaria striker barely shone in the Memphis Grizzlies’ loss to one of their direct Western Conference rivals, the Phoenix Suns, who took the win at the FedEx Forum comfortably 108-125.
Aldama, in almost 15 minutes, didn’t sign a great game and remained three points thanks to the only hat-trick he attempted and which was also his only shot on a stat sheet that reflected nothing else. Ja Morant led the home side with 34 points, but with mediocre and insufficient percentages against a rival where eight players exceeded double figures in scoring, with a special mention for substitute Duane Washington (26).
For his part, Madrid’s Juancho Hernangómez did not help the Toronto Raptors too much to avoid a 113-124 loss at home against the Los Angeles Clippers despite another good game from Pascal Siakam (36 points and 9 rebounds).
The Spanish striker was a starter with the Canadian franchise, but was barely eight minutes on the pitch, where he missed all four of his triples and couldn’t score a single point, limiting himself to a rebound and an assist .
Finally, Usman Garuba didn’t shine either in another Houston Rockets loss to one of the powerhouse teams in the Eastern Conference like the Boston Celtis, who clearly won 126-102 thanks to the huge game of Jaylen Brown (39 points) and Jayson Tatum (38 and 8 rebounds).
For his part, the Azuqueca de Henares power forward could barely shine on a difficult night and in his more than 13 minutes on the pitch he scored just one basket and grabbed three rebounds for one. franchise where Jalen Green (28) and Kevin Porter Jr.. stood out (22 and 9 assists).
