Bogdan and the Kings prevailed over Nets in overtime, in a game which was marked by the Serbian rookie. Bogdanovic tapped 23 points, along with 5 rebounds and 3 assists in 31 minutes on the court. Greek center Kosta Koufos added 6 points and 11 rebounds for the winning side.
Dario Saric and the Sixers caused an upset to the Cavs, as the Croatian player was one rebound shy from a double-double, with 16 points. Marco Belinelli stepped up with 11 points, Ersan Ilyasova added 6, while for the opposing side, Cedi Osman tapped 6.
Jusuf Nurkic and the Blazers sped up just enough to overcome the Timberwolves, as the Bosnian beast scored 16 points. Minnesota’s Nemanja Bjelica finished with 8 points and 12 rebounds.
Goran ‘The Dragon’ Dragic’s 19 points weren’t enough to save the Heat against the Lakers.
