Moritz Wagner and the Brooklyn Nets fell 129-110 to the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday, capping a turbulent travel week across the NBA.
Both teams arrived in Memphis just hours before tip-off following a nationwide flight stoppage that disrupted league schedules. The loss marked the ninth defeat in twelve games for Brooklyn.
Grizzlies Take Control Early
Memphis built a 20-point lead in the first half behind strong three-point shooting. Cedric Coward led the Grizzlies with 23 points and 12 rebounds.
Wagner finished with 10 points, six rebounds, and four assists for the Nets following the delayed journey from New Orleans. Julius Randle scored a team-high 22 points for New York.
Giannis Leads Miami Heat Past Detroit Pistons
Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 34 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, and added 8 assists to lead the Miami Heat past the Detroit Pistons 137-117. The victory extended Miami’s winning streak to four games.
The win lifted the Heat to a 7-6 record. Miami became just the fourth team in the last 25 seasons to start a campaign 0-4 and reach a winning record by their 13th game.
Bulls Stop Timberwolves Streak
Chicago arrived in Minneapolis on Saturday after a delayed trip caused by the same flight restrictions that affected teams earlier in the week. The Bulls played without several injured players, including rookie Caleb Wilson.
Nuggets Outlast Pelicans
The victory gave Denver its fourth win in five games. New Orleans dropped its sixth contest.
Cavaliers Win Short-Handed
Coach decisions left starters like Donovan Mitchell and James Harden behind in Florida following a previous game against Miami. Kyrie Irving scored 34 points for Dallas.
