TIMBERWOLVES 101 – WARRIORS 104

Not two minutes of the game had been played when, still with 0-0 on the scoreboard, Thompson (Warriors) and McDaniels (Wolves) began a brawl and numerous players ended up entangled in that incident, including Green (Warriors) and Rudy Gobert (Wolves ), who was saved from expulsion since the referees understood that he got involved to try to separate.

The Dominican-American Karl-Anthony Towns was the most outstanding of the Wolves with 33 points and 11 rebounds while the rookie Brandin Podziemski, with 27 points, took a step forward in the Warriors who did not have Stephen Curry due to discomfort in the knee.

SIXERS 126 – PACERS 132

Haliburton, at an elite level in the NBA, gave a performance with 33 points (including 7 triples), 7 rebounds and 15 assists without losing a single ball that stopped the Sixers who had won eight games in a row.

Joel Embiid (39 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists) was the Sixers’ top scorer against the Pacers who started the campaign very strongly.

THUNDER 123 – SPURS 87

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (28 points, 6 rebounds and 7 steals) led the Thunder’s beating and sneaked into the highly anticipated duel between Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren.

LAKERS 134 – GRIZZLIES 107

PELICANS 131 – MAVERICKS 110
