Two decidedly intriguing games regarding the NBA regular season were staged on the night. Spotlight especially on the Indiana Pacers-Oklahoma City Thunder showdown, that is, the rematch of the last NBA Finals. Played in Indianapolis, it saw the success, after no less than two overtimes, of OKC which won 141-135.

Mostruous performance by Gilgeous-Alexander. The’reigning MVP put up a whopping 55 points (his career high). OKC’s All Star scored a whopping 90 points in the first two games of the season (55 points against the Pacers and 35 against the Rockets). Better than his turnover, in NBA history, have only Jordan, Chamberlain, and Anthony Davis.

Good success also for Golden State, which, after beating the LA Lakers on opening night, also tripped Jokic’s Denver Nuggets: 137-131 the final, again after an overtime and at the end of a very tight challenge.

An applaudable performance by Curry, who ended his game with 42 points, with six triples scored. On the other side, a super Gordon was not enough: 10/11 from three for 50 total points and the usual Jokic (triple double with 21 points, 10 assists and 13 rebounds). In the end, the victory went to Curry’s Warriors.
