Over the ocean the next game day of the regular season in the strongest basketball League in the world.
Kawai Leonard (30 points+5 assists) and the bench helped “San Antonio” to take victories with the new arena, “Sacramento, CA”. Guests could not stop Demarcus Cousins (37+16 rebounds), but the reservists did everything to compensate for the weak play of Parker, Gasol and Aldridge, who scored just 27 points.
Updated the bulls suddenly have coped with the efforts of “Boston”. The debut of Dwyane Wade in his hometown was a very respectable – the former leader of “Miami” scored 22 points and converted four long-distance shots in six attempts. The best scorer of Chicago was Jimmy Butler (24+7 rebounds), double-double scored Taj Gibson (18+10 rebounds).
Chris Paul, Blake Griffin (27 points) and powerful makeup from the bench ensured the clippers away victory over “Portland”. This evening the leader of the “Blazers” Damier Lillard was far from their usual performance – the point guard scored 29 points with weak implementation (11 of 24) and made more losses than assists.
“Atlanta” thanks to the breakthrough in the final quarter in the opening match of the season dealt with “Washington.” Paul Millsap routinely took leadership roles (28+7 rebounds+6 assists) and Dwight Howard made his debut in “hawks” with a double-double (11+19 rebounds).
The results of the matches of the day:
Atlanta – Washington— 114:99 (29:27, 28:29, 24:24, 33:19)
Chicago – Boston— 105:99 (30:20, 27:29, 22:24, 26:26)
