Thriller in Sacto
– The end of the game between Sacramento and Orlando is one of the craziest and most intense of this start to the NBA season.
In overtime, the Kings led by 4 points with 11 seconds remaining when Jalen Suggs showed up on the line to put his two free throws. Behind, Chuma Okeke took advantage of a bad pass from Malik Monk to equalize at 2.5 from the buzzer. While everyone was expecting a second period of overtime, De’Aaron Fox broke his label as a friable player in the money time by returning a lunar 3-point shot to totally shower the Amway Center…

It was already Fox (37 pts) who had pushed the match into overtime by equalizing 25 seconds from the end. Again, despite this 8th loss in 10 games, the Magic was entertaining. The pair Paolo Banchero (33 pts, 16 rbds, 4 pds) – Franz Wagner (31 pts) and the dynamics of Was Was (23 pts, 7 rebounds) make this team damn interesting to follow, without jeopardizing their very good place in the Wembanyama Race.
Murray crazy, NOLA does not like the extension …
– To beat the Pelicans this season, there is no mystery: you have to take them to overtime. New Orleans lost for the third time this season in overtime, this time in Atlanta. Zion Williamson (29 pts) and his comrades fell in Atlanta, where the trio Dejounte Murray (in triple-double with 22 pts, 11 pds, 10 rbds) – Trae Young (34 pts, 10 pds) – Clint Capela (21 pts, 19 rebounds) hurt a lot.
Murray is getting stronger and stronger in his new colours. Beyond his triple-double, the former Spurs leader is the one who allowed his team to go into overtime by scoring 4 seconds from the end of regulation time.
Trae Young ???? Dejounte Murray

The Bucks are closing in on 10-0
– No Giannis, no problem. The Bucks had the time to rest their superstar for the reception of OKC, but kept their immaculate record (9-0). As the two-time MVP watched quietly from the bench, Milwaukee mastered his subject by reminding that the skills of the team were not limited to that of the Greek Freak.
Brook Lopez (25 points at 10/16), Jrue Holiday (10 pts, 13 pds), Bobby Portis (12 pts, 21 rebounds) and Grayson Allen (19 pts) managed the business, without taking a huge game of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (18 pts at 7/16) in the teeth. This is indicative of the defensive level of the Bucks, as the Canadian has shone less than during all his other outings this season.
Record at 3 pts for Boston, Brooklyn at 2-0 without Kyrie…
– The Celtics broke their franchise record 3 points on their trip to Madison Square Garden. Faced with the Knicks forced to review their rotation with the injuries of Mitchell Robinson et Quentin Grimes (Isaiah Hartenstein et Cam Reddish entered the five), Boston proposed a fireworks display with 27 prize-winning baskets (including 12 for Jaylen Brown et Jayson Tatum).
Sam Hauserwhich we told you about at the start of the season as a possible X factor for the C’s, broke his NBA record with 5 3-pointers for 16 points.
Evan Fournier came off the New York bench: 2 points, 2 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 block for the interim captain of the Blues in 14 minutes.
– In the midst of a sports and extra-sports storm, the Nets found comfort in Charlotte, not without having had a hard time. Led by 10 points in the 4th quarter after a big release in the second half, Brooklyn relied on the talent of Kevin Durant (27 pts), the confidence placed in Cam Thomas (21 pts) and the energy of Nic Claxton (11 pts, 9 rebounds). Since the suspension of Kyrie Irvingthe Nets are 2-0.
The return of Terry Rozier after 7 matches of absence did not prevent the Hornets from suffering a 4th consecutive defeat.
Anthony Edwards lands his first dunk
– With Rudy Gobert placed in Covid protocol – poor thing, it feels like the 37th time… – Wolves still did the job at home against Houston, the team with the worst record in the entire NBA (1-9). Karl-Anthony Towns (25 pts) and Anthony Edwards (19 pts) made their match.
Edwards, who was half-complaining about not being able to dunk this season due to the size of his interiors, tucked in his first tomar of the season the day Rudy was out…

– “BONE? BOOONE?!” Sorry, the 24 points Bones Hyland for Denver during the Nuggets’ quiet win over San Antonio reminded us of that cult scene from Brooklyn ’99 where Captain Holt freaks out over the word “bone.” And we risk releasing it every time the Nuggets sophomore releases a big game this season…

The 45 points of the pair Keldon Johnson-Devin Vassell did not prevent San Antonio from suffering a third straight loss and returning to the ranks after a surprising start to the season. Nikola Jokicthe double “reigning MVP”, came close to perfection with 21 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds at 9/10 in 27 minutes.

— Denver Nuggets (@nuggets) November 6, 2022
– The Suns, who learned of Cam Johnson’s meniscus injury over the weekend, overcame the worry and exacted revenge on Portland to kill two birds with one stone. Beaten on a game winner by Jerami Grant the day before, Monty Williams’ players did everything not to relive the same depressing end. They dominated the match without shaking and led by 21 points at the break, thanks in particular to the serenity of the tandem Devin Booker (24 pts) – Chris Paul (15 pts).
Phoenix had already lost twice to Portland this season and avoided the sweep with that win.
