Dallas had more options and emerged triumphant against Denver

By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

German forward Maxi Kleber had 14 points and seven rebounds, and Dallas beat the Nuggets 109-106 thanks to pluralism.

Dallas had nine players score double figures, tying a franchise record, on a night their two top scorers combined for 22 points on 7 of 26 shooting. Slovenian Luka Doncic scored 12 points, and Latvian Kristaps Porzingis had 10 points and 14 rebounds. No Mavericks player scored more than 14 points.

Serb Nikola Jokic had his second triple-double of the season, with 10 points, ten rebounds, and ten assists, but it wasn’t enough to prevent Denver from losing the second game of a back-to-back set.

In LA, Anthony Davis had the fourth 40-point, 20-rebound game of his seven-year career and set a franchise record with 26 made free throws as the Lakers rallied in the second half for a convincing 120-91 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. Lithuanian big man Jonas Valanciunas had a double-double (14 p. 11 r.) for the losing side and Serb Marco Guduric finished the night with three assists and two rebounds.

In Miami Jimmy Butler scored 21 in his Heat debut, rookie Tyler Herro had 29 and the host defeated Atlanta 112-97 in a game where Hawks star Trae Young left early in the second quarter with a sprained right ankle.

Slovenian Goran Dragic added 21 for the Heat. Ukranian big man Alex Len had four points and four rebounds for Atlanta.
