Towards the end of the game the Spurs still led 100: 103, but the champion went out for a 0: 9 run and won. LeBron James recorded a triple-double of 26 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, Anthony Davis led the scenes with 35 points and 11 rebounds. It was the Lakers’ second win over San Antonio in three days.
Caldon Johnson scored a career-high for the loser with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and Damar Drusen contributed 23 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. Marcus Aldridge missed a second game in a row due to weakness.

After breaking the NBA three-point record in a win over Miami on Thursday with 26 accurate shots, the Bucks continued in their great form, this time accurate with 22 shots off the arc from 45 attempts – and walked the injured Bulls. Yannis Endocombo was two assists away from a second triple double in a row: the “Greek Freak” finished with 29 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists.
It was Milwaukee’s 11th straight win over the Bulls. This is the second longest winning streak in meetings between the two teams. The Bulls recorded 12 consecutive wins over the Bucks between 1995 and 1998. Chicago played without very many important players because Chandler Hutchinson stuck with Corona and put them in isolation.

After a mediocre season opener and quite a bit of criticism of the overweight with whom he came to the league opener, it looks like Luka Doncic is starting to let go. The Slovenian set a season record of 27 points and 14 rebounds (his first double-double in 2020/21), and along with Tim Hardway Jr. (18 points), the two led the Mabs to W.
The game was decided in the third quarter, which the locals finished with a 20-point advantage – 53:73. While Adbayo scored 19 for the loser, Avery Bradley added 15. Jimmy Butler was terrible with 2 points (0 of 6 from the field) in 27 minutes in his first appearance since spraining his ankle against New Orleans at Christmas. Miami missed its first 12 shots off the arc in the first half, finishing the game with 7 of 33 (21 percent).

A big win for Utah, who managed to survive the thriller after the Clippers came back from a 19-yard deficit at the end of the third quarter to just a point (95:94) 3:15 minutes to go. Mike Connolly and Rudy Gober scored the last 11 points of the Jazz together, preventing Tyrone Lou’s team from making the comeback.
Connolly was fantastic with 33 points (7 of 14 for three) and 7 assists, a rising 12 goalscorers and 9 rebounds. Kwai Leonard’s 20 points, 16 rebounds and 9 assists were not enough for the Clippers, who received 25 points on a bad percentage (6 of 22) from Paul George.

The Suns are preying on the cards so far this season, this time enjoying three players who have scored 21 points or more to beat Denver, which is showing a bad season opener. Diandra Eyton (11 rebounds) and Devin Booker scored 22 points each for the winner, Chris Paul navigating the business with 21 and 6 assists.
Jamal Marie scored 31 for the Nuggets, Nicola Jokitz added 17 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds and Paul Millsap contributed 15. Phoenix led throughout the game until 2:41 to go Monte Morris scored a three and set up a 97:98 lead for Denver. From there Paul brought in all of his experience, scoring six of his team’s nine points to the end – and completing the turnaround.

After four straight losses since the start of the season, the Pistons can finally smile. Jeremy Grant led with 24 points, Derrick Rose and rookie Sadic Bay added 17 each. Detroit played without the injured Blake Griffin, but Mason Flamley replaced him excellently in color as he picked up 17 rebounds alongside 8 points.
Boston could still have sent the game into overtime, but Jaylen Brown (25 points) missed in the closing seconds. Jason Taitum led the scenes with 28. The Celtics have not scored a point in the last 4:15 minutes (10 consecutive fouls).

After the dramatic 141: 145 to Brooklyn in the previous meeting between the teams on Wednesday, this time the result was significantly lower, and there was not really any drama. The Hawks are showing they are going to speak loudly this season. The visitors opened up a 20-point gap during the fourth quarter (80: 100) from which the Nets failed to return.
Diandra Hunter was excellent with 23 points, Terra Young added 21 and John Collins 20. No less than six players scored in double figures for the winner. Kevin Durant finished with 28 points for Brooklyn, Kyrie contributed 18 points and 11 rebounds.

Although seven of its players were not on the roster for medical reasons, and she was forced to register only nine on the roster, Memphis managed to beat Charlotte away. Dillon Brooks scored 21, Kyle Anderson 18 and a career-high 11 rebounds and Brandon Clark 15.
Bismak Biombo led the Hornets with 16 points and 12 rebounds, Lamello Ball added 15 and six assists. Gordon Hayward and Caleb Martin finished with 14 each.
