Including the absences of Paul Banchero and Franz Wagner è it was Jalen Suggs who loaded the Magic on his shoulders by closing the match with 32 points. Good performance also for Jett Howard who put up 10 coming off the bench.

The second quarter of the NBA Cup finals between Oklahoma City and Dallas, however, ended with a strong showing by the Thunder, who managed to send the entire starting quintet into double figures. Absolute dominator of the match è was the usual Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with 39 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 recovered balls. The key to success for Coach Daigneault’s franchise, however, è was the defensive half of the court, as the Mavs’ big 3 did not go over 52 combined points.
