Zach LaVine blazed with the Chicago Bulls, scoring 51 points, failing to win against Detroit (118-102) on Saturday in the NBA. The Chicago Bulls guard was super skillful (19 out of 33, including 7 out of 13 from three points) to score 51 points, the highest total of his career, without preventing his team’s defeat against Detroit (118- 102). LaVine, who scored half of his team’s points, surprisingly had no assists. The Bulls have one victory and two defeats since the start of the season.
Duren as baby LeBron
Detroit pivot Jalen Duren (19) left his mark on the game against Chicago with 23 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists. He is the second player under 20 in history to achieve a game with more than 20 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists after the “King” LeBron James, who achieved such a performance in 2003, at the age of 18.
Embiid gets back on track
Author of 34 points, last season’s best player (MVP) Joel Embiid led his Philadelphia 76ers to victory in Toronto (114-107), their first of the year after an opening defeat in Milwaukee on Thursday. Embiid was well accompanied by leader Tyrese Maxey, author of a second consecutive game with more than 30 points (34 against Toronto, after 31 in Milwaukee on Thursday).
After a narrow defeat against the Lakers, Kevin Durant’s Phoenix Suns (26 points) crushed the Utah Jazz (126-104), despite the absence of their gunners Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, injured.
