A couple of European big men dominated their stage to help their teams capture victories,.

Nikola Vucevic scored 12 out of his season-high 25 points in the fourth period and also grabbed 11 rebounds to lead Orlando Magic to a 112 – 97 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Evan Fournier contributed 13 points in the victory of the Magic. Furkan Korkmaz was a Sixers starter for yet another game and finished with nine points (1/6 triples).

The Memphis Grizzlies grabbed their second straight win by defeating the San Antonio Spurs 119 – 117 powered also by Jonas Valanciunas’ double-double of 18 points and 13 rebounds in 23 minutes. The Lithuanian center was a team-second-best +10 in plus/minus.

Marko Guduric posted a season-high 17 points on 4/6 3-pointers for Memphis in 20 minutes off the bench.

Clint Capela grabbed 20 rebounds for a third game in a row to become the first Houston Rockets player to do so since Moses Malone in 1982, per Houston Chronicle’s Jonathan Feigen. The Swiss big man also scored 12 points as the Rockets beat the Los Angeles Clippers 102 – 93 behind James Harden’s scoring show of 47 points.

Capela’s fellow Swiss player Thabo Sefolosha played 12 scoreless minutes during which he had four rebounds and two assists for the Rockets. Ivica Zubac notched seven points and four rebounds as a Clippers starter.

The Rockets – Clippers game also included a funny moment when Austin Rivers asked the refs to give his father, Doc Rivers a technical foul.

“It was a really good moment. I enjoyed it a lot. I’m not gonna lie to you. I really did enjoy that,” Austin Rivers said after the game. He also tweeted “Welp…. thanksgiving is going to be weird…”
