It was a good night for European bigs, especially for Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz and Nikola Vucevic of the Orlando Magic.

By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

The Montenegrin big man has 22 points and 12 rebounds to help Orlando end a seven-game losing streak with a 115-106 overtime win over Detroit.

French guard Evan Fournier scored 17 points, including the first six in overtime when Orlando finally took control.

His compatriot, Rudy Gobert, scored a season-high 26 points, grabbed 16 rebounds and blocked four shots to help the Utah Jazz beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 116-108 in a game that featured three ejections.

Atlanta’s German guard Dennis Schroder, who had 27 points, sank three free throws with 19 seconds remaining to cut Golden State‘s lead to 111-109. However, the Warriors got the 114-119 despite not having Steph Curry on the court in crunch time, after an ankle injury.

Turk Ersan Ilyasova scored 11 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter in his first home game since he rejoined the Sixers and Philadelphia beat Charlotte 110-99. French star  Nicolas Batum had 14 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists for the losing side.

Last but not least,  Giannis Antetokounmpo had a full stats line that included 24 points and 10 rebounds for the Bucks, but the Pacers got the 103-96 win.
