The Spanish base Ricky Rubio has not participated this morning, for discomfort in the back, in the defeat of Phoenix Suns against Houston Rockets (125-139), with the guard James Harden and the base Russell Westbrook adding 77 points between the two, in an NBA day in which Willy Hernangómez did not have minutes with Charlotte Hornets, who fell to Utah Jazz (107-114).
The 47 and 30 points respectively of the Rockets’ two stars (20-9), Western Quarters, sentenced those of Arizona at the Talking Stick Resort Arena. With this result, the Suns (11-18) fit their sixth consecutive loss and stay out of the playoff positions in the Western Conference.
Meanwhile, the Hornets (13-19), with Madrid’s Hernangómez without participation by technical decision, also succumbed to the Jazz and remain at the gates of the positions that entitle them to play the postseason in the East.
