First big night in the new NBA season. 24 teams took to the court to open their year. In a day full of great performances, narrow victories and debuts of expected players, we rescue the most important thing, with Porzingis as one of the protagonists:
A new duo in the Celtics. Boston, one of the big favorites for the ring, couldn’t have started better. Victory at Madison Square Garden against the Knicks (108-104) with the new duo giving results from the start. 34 points for a Jayson Tatum stellar, accompanied by Porzingis’ 30 in his official debut with the green shirt, maximum score in the first game with Boston from history. Brown signed 12 and Holiday, 9.
Porzingis was the piece the Celtics were missing to become candidates for everything again. The Latvian was omnipresent in his former home, and he recorded data on his debut to remember. The first player to register 5 triples and 4 blocks in a debut and left the Knicks players in a 3/15 in shots field.
The Cavs put the pieces together. Cleveland suffered a victory against Brooklyn (114-113), with a great performance by Donovan Mitchell and Max Strus, the new signing. 27 points from each one to give the victory to those from Ohio.
Kawhi and Paul George are back at it. The Clippers’ stellar duo closed the last game of the day with 60 points between them. They gave no option (111-123) to the Blazers who fought until the end. They smile again on the other side of Los Angeles.
A special night in NBA history. Victor Wembanyama’s long-awaited debut in the American league ushered in a new era in world basketball. The Frenchman could not take the victory (126-11) against the Dallas Mavericks of a superlative Luka Doncic, but he left great moments.
Doncic reaffirms himself for the MVP. The Mavericks star had a dream first game in the victory against the Spurs (126-119). 33 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists for the Slovenian, including a long three-pointer to seal the victory in San Antonio.
The Thunder, the fashionable team in the NBA. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is still sweet. The point guard led the resounding victory in Chicago (124-104) with 31 points and 10 assists. Giddey accompanied him with 16 points. Holmgren debuted in the league with 11 points.
The Hawks fall in Charlotte. Atlanta’s visit to the Hornets’ pavilion was not the best. First defeat for Quin Snyder’s team. Trae Young’s 23 points weren’t enough. The locals enjoyed a forceful Mark Williams, a candidate to be one of the surprises of the season, who had 13 points and 15 rebounds. Rozier scored 25 points.
Cam Thomas’ night. The highest score of the day went to Cam Thomas. The Brooklyn Nets guard scored 36 points in the loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. A player who demonstrated his revulsion from the bench, although he gradually evaporated in Vaughn’s rotation.
Cade Cunningham and illusion. The Pistons star, from whom great things are expected, delighted the crowd with 30 points in Detroit’s defeat (102-103) against Jimmy Butler’s Miami Heat.
Zion returns to the fray. The Pelicans start the season well, with a worthy victory in Memphis (111-104). Zion Williamson, protagonist with 23 points and 7 rebounds. Aspirations in New Orleans depend largely on the player’s health.
Sabonis, absolute leader in Sacramento. The Kings started where they picked up last season. 22 points and 15 rebounds from the Lithuanian to storm Utah (130-114) and start the regular phase with a win.
