In a 7-game night in the NBA, many Euro-ballers had deciding performances for their respective teams.
Giannis continued his dominance. He led the Bucks to a 104-97 win over the Hornets with 32 points, 17 boards, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. Bosnian forward Mirza Teletovic added 15 points with five three-pointers in a win.
Marc Gasol led the Grizzlies to an impressive win over the Rockets in Houston. The Spaniard had 26 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks. For the losing side, Clint Capela had 14 point and 6 boards and 2 blocks.
In Denver, the visiting Wizards beat the Nuggets 109-104. Marcin Gortat contributed 13 points and 6 rebounds for the winning side while Tomas Satoransky had 5 points.
Nikola Jokic had a breakout performance for the home side despite the loss. He finished with 29 points, 9 boards and 5 assists.
Bogdan Bogdanovic made his NBA debut against the Suns after suffering an ankle injury that kept him out for the start of the season. The Serbian stud had a nice all-around performance with 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists but Sacramento’s come back effort fell short due to a go-ahead bucket by one of his former Euroleague foes, Mike James.
