NBA: first win for Lakers, misstep for Warriors
James’ 26 points in first yellowviola success
Many NBA contests played on the night. Thanks to 26 points by James and 18 by Westbrook (started from the bench), LA Lakers overcome Denver: 121-110. It was the first win of the season for the yellowviola (1-5 record). It was all easy for Boston, which ruled Washington (112-94) with Brown (24 points) and Tatum (23) leading the way.
Banchero scores 18 points but it’s not enough to beat Dallas, which wins 114-105. Doncic shines, closing out the match with 44 final points. The usual Booker (30 points) drags Phoenix to success against Houston (124-109). Another Golden State misstep. Despite good performances by Curry (32 points) and Poole (30), the Warriors are swept by Detroit (128-114). Golden State’s record is negative (3-4).
