π¨Saturday’s Slate of Games. Updated Final Scoresπ¨
Top 3 Performers of the Night
- Damian Lillard tied a franchise record with 10 three-pointers. He finished that defeat with 41 points, four rebounds and nine assists.
- It’s rare to have two players from a losing team in this section, but Giannis Antetokounmpo led all players in fantasy points on this slate. The Greek Freak finished with 34 points, 16 rebounds and nine assists.
- Nikola Jokic sat out the fourth quarter in their blowout win over the Utah Jazz, but he still finished with 27 points, 16 rebounds and nine assists.
Notable runner-ups
Domantas Sabonis tallied 17 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists en route to his 60th career triple-double.
Donovan Mitchell will feature in the next section but he hit a game-winner and had 30 points in a win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Top 3 Storylines of the Night
- Vince Carter had his number 15 retired in Toronto. Amid that celebration, the Raptors grabbed a 131-128 overtime win over the Sacramento Kings. He’s the first player in Toronto franchise history to have their number retired.
- Donovan Mitchell hits a game-winner against Milwaukee. That 114-113 win over the Bucks carries the Cavs to a league-best 7-0 record. That’s their second-best start in franchise history.
- In the NBA’s return to Mexico, the Miami Heat beat the Washington Wizards, 118-98. Bam Adebayo led Miami with 32 points and 14 rebounds.
