NBA Euro-watch: Belinelli & Saric lead Sixers to miraculous come-back

By George Efkarpides / info@eurohoops.net

Dario Saric may have only scored 19 points but it was his hustle and defense that spirited the home team’s come-back to win it 104-102. Marco Belinelli added 17 points in his Sixers debut which will surely be memorable.

Goran Dragic scored 18 points adding 3 boards and 4 assists for Miami.

The Utah Jazz won their eleventh straight game behind a big double-double by Rudy Gobert.

The French big-man had 14 points, 17 boards and one assist in a 107-97 home win.

Ukrainian center Alex Len was a force on both sides of the floor for Phoenix. He finished the game with 14 points, 7 boards, 3 steals and 4 blocks.

Finally, Czech point-guard Tomas Satoransky dished out a career-high 11 dimes in a road 118-113 win over the New York Knicks. French center Ian Mahinmi chipped in with 17 points off the bench.

Enes Kanter had another monster double-double with 24 points, 14 rebounds adding 5 assists and a block.
