Hernangomez and Jokic led Denver to win over the Warriors

By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

The only Denver player who didn’t join the long-range barrage was the Serb big man, who was too busy setting career highs with 12 assists and 21 rebounds to go with 17 points in his second career triple-double.

The Nuggets tied the 3-point mark set by the Rockets in December against New Orleans when the Spanish rookie sank his sixth three at the 2-minute mark. Hernangomez scored a season-high 27 points to go with a season-best 10 boards.

French Even Fournier scored 24 points, the last of those coming on that big 3 with 1:01 left, and the Magic beat the Heat 116-107. Orlando got 17 points from Spanird Serge Ibaka, Croatian Mario Hezonja had 11 points and Montenegrin Nik Vucevic finished with 13 points and 17 rebounds for the Magic, which went 2-0 in Miami for the first time since 2007-08. Slovenian Goran Dragic scored 22 points for the losing side.

The fired-up 76ers beat the Hornets 105-99 behind 18 points and 11 rebounds from Croatian Dario Saric. Turk Ersan Ilyasova added 5 points and 10 rebounds, Spaniard Sergio Rodriguez had 8 points and 4 rebounds, while French Timothe Luwawu Cabarro scored 5 points for the winners. French Nicolas Batum scored 16 points and Italian Marco Belinelli had 8 for the losing side.

The Atlanta Hawks scored the final 12 points to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 109-104 after overtime. German guard Dennis Schroder scored 22 for the Hawks. Here’s the rest of last night’s results and the euro-scorers.
