Dario Saric was part of an amazing team performance by the Sixers in one of his best night in the NBA. Read what the Euros did last night on the other side of the Atlantic.

J.J. Redick hit eight 3-pointers and scored 29 points, and the Philadelphia 76ers cruised without injured Ben Simmons to a 130-111 victory over the skidding Orlando Magic. Saric was a starter and the Croatian forward finished the night with 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Montenegrin center Nikola Vucevic added 14 points and 14 rebounds for the losing side.

German icon Dirk Nowitzki scored a season-high 19 points, rookie Dennis Smith held his own against Russell Westbrook on the rookie Dallas guard’s 20th birthday and the Mavericks beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 97-81.

The Utah Jazz made a season-high 18 3-pointers in a 120-106 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. Utah was playing without French Rudy Gobert, who missed his eighth with a bruised knee, and Greek Freak Giannis Antetokoumnpo had 27 points and 13 rebounds after missing the last game with a sore knee but showed frustration several times during the contest as the Bucks played from behind most of the game.

French forward of the Hornets Nic Batum (elbow) was available versus the Spurs, after missing Friday’s loss in Cleveland. Turk Enes Kanter (back spasms) and Latvian Kristaps Porzingis (lower back tightness) were out for the Knicks against Houston.

Here are last night’s results and the euro-scorers.
