NBA, Luka Doncic’s season opener is to be applauded

Doncic finishes with 28 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists

There was great anticipation for Doncic's season opener. The Slovenian, fresh from his NBA Finals loss to Boston, was facing Wembanyama’s Spurs with his Mavs. The game è ended with a victory for Dallas: 120-109. The absolute protagonist was Doncic himself, who ended the match with 28 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. On the other side, 17 points for Wembanyama (6/18 shooting).

Other competitions were played in the night. Nice success, in a sprint, of Minnesota, which got the better of Sacramento (117-115). Great performance by Edwards. The TWolves all-star scored an impressive 32 points with two free throws in the finale that allowed Minnesota to take home a valuable win.

OKC also did the talking, disposing of Denver with a dry 102-87 win. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (28 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds) shines. In the Nuggets’ house, Jokic’s triple-double (16 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds) should be noted. The Serbian, however, shot a not-excellent, at least for his qualities, 6/13 from the field.

Finally, after winning in the debut game with New York, Boston also won, on the road, on the court of Washington (122-102). Result never in dispute with the reigning NBA Champions running away in the second quarter (31 to 22) and never looking back. The Tatum-Brown duo finished with 52 total points. Best scorer in the Wizards è was Poole (26 points).
