On March 13 Beijing time, NBA regular season games continued. Several matchups concluded yesterday: Raptors lost 111-122 to the struggling Pelicans; Knicks staged a comeback to crush Jazz 134-117 for a major reversal; Rockets shot poorly with dismal accuracy, suffering a 93-129 defeat against Nuggets; Hornets overpowered the struggling Kings 117-109; in a key clash, Timberwolves fell 128-153 to the offensive-explosive Clippers. This results in major chaos in Western Conference standings: Rockets remain third despite loss; Nuggets climb to fifth; Timberwolves drop to sixth after three consecutive losses; Clippers hold eighth with three straight wins!

Knicks versus Jazz. The gap in team strength was too large, leaving little suspense about the outcome. However, after the game started, Jazz surprisingly performed more efficiently, scoring consistently inside and outside to pressure Knicks, once leading by 18 points. But then Jazz suddenly went cold, entering a shooting slump, while Knicks intensified their offensive pressure, dominating Jazz thoroughly, quickly erasing the deficit and then rolling over Jazz effortlessly. Ultimately, Knicks achieved a major reversal to defeat Jazz, with Jazz inexplicably losing the game as if they didn’t want to win!

Rockets versus Nuggets. This game was also a key battle between two top-six ranked teams. In the first half, both teams had low shooting accuracy; Rockets kept missing shots and were suppressed by Nuggets, trailing in score. In the second half, Rockets’ offense showed no improvement, continuing to miss three-pointers and even failing free throws. Meanwhile, Nuggets were unstoppable, unleashing an offensive explosion and bombarding Rockets relentlessly, leaving Rockets struggling miserably. The lead widened rapidly; Rockets collapsed completely with no effective players, their offense and defense disorganized. Finally, Rockets suffered a 36-point crushing defeat to Nuggets, shooting 4 out of 33 from three-point range and 5 out of 14 from free throws—such poor accuracy naturally led to a heavy loss!

Timberwolves versus Clippers. Clippers have been performing steadily recently, achieving a 50% win rate and climbing into top eight. This round they faced the robust Timberwolves, posing a test. The game turned into an offensive showdown: Edwards dueling with Kawhi Leonard. Ultimately, Clippers shone brilliantly, their offense like a raging beast overwhelming Timberwolves step by step, leaving them unable to resist. The gap widened quickly; Kawhi Leonard showcased all-around prowess, his solo scoring ability exceptional as he blasted 45 points, leading Clippers to crush Timberwolves and secure a big victory!
