The Greek Freak had 28 points and 12 rebounds, and Milwaukee snapped a four-game skid with a 94-87 victory over San Antonio in Eric Bledsoe’s debut with the Bucks.
Bledsoe had not practiced with Milwaukee aside from a morning shootaround, but he quickly adapted to the talent around him. He finished with 13 points on 6-for-15 shooting.
“It was good,” Antetokounmpo said. “It’s really easy to play with him because you know he’s going to find you. He’s going to make the right play, so it’s fun to play with him.” Spanish star Pau Gasol had 8 points and 5 rebounds for the losing side.
Aaron Gordon had 22 points and seven rebounds, and he made both his 3-point attempts to take over the NBA league in 3-point percentage in the Magic’s 128-112 victory over the Phoenix Suns. Montenegrin Nikola Vucevic added 19 points and Frenchman Evan Fournier had 14 for the Magic who remain among the top teams of the East.
In the euro-duel of the center, Bosnian Jusuf Nurkic with 21 points played much better than Russian Timofey Mozgov who had nine, but he got the 101-97 win with the Nets over the Blazers. The best performance of the day belongs to Paul George with 42 points and here are the results and the euro-scorers.
