NBA Euro-watch: Bogdan’s 21 points were not enough

By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

Buddy Hield and Bogdanovic each had 21 points to lead the Kings, who have lost eight of their last nine home games. On the contrary, the Los Angeles Lakers snapped a three-game road losing streak with a 113-108 win.

Damian Lillard scored 40 points, the last two on a driving layup with nine-tenths of a second to play, and the Portland Trail Blazers rallied from 15 down in the final 7 1/2 minutes to beat Phoenix 106-104 on the road. Bosnian Jusuf Nurkic added a double-double (14 p., 13 r.) for the winners and Ukrainian big man Alex Len did the same (11 p. 13 r.) for Phoenix.

French big man Rudy Gobert added 13 points and 10 rebounds as Utah limited Dallas to just one field goal over the final 5:12 in a 97-90 victory on Saturday night. German icon Dirk Nowitzki had 12 points and 10 rebounds for the losing side.
