On a 10-game Wednesday night, there were thrillers, blow-outs and some outstanding performances by Euro-ballers including 7 double-doubles.
The Houston Rockets, came back to win 105-104 in Philly on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Eric Gordon. Clint Capela, kept his team close throughout the game. He had 16 points to go along with 20 rebounds and 4 blocks.
Saric, only played 15 minutes and did not score.
Nikola Jokic’s double-double (18 p., 11 r.) wasn’t enough, as Denver lost in Charlotte (110-93).
Pau Gasol, helped the Spurs beat the Heat in Miami (117-100). The future Hall of Famer had 13 points and 9 boards in just 19 minutes. Goran Dragic had 20 points, 4 boards in the game.
In Dallas, two of the best European “bigs”, battled with Dirk Nowitzki’s team (13 p., 5 r., 3 a) out-dueling Marc Gasol’s (24 p., 10 r., 3 a ., 2 s.). Dallas led wire-to-wire and won by a final score of 103-94.
The Phoenix Suns got their second consecutive win (97-88) in expense of the Utah Jazz despite double-doubles for Rubio (15 p., 11 a.) and Rudy Gobert (16 p., 14 r., 5 b.).
For the winning side, Ukrainian big-man Alex Len also had a double-double (13 p., 13 r.) while Bender had 3 points and 4 boards.
