Lots of battles between European players last night in the NBA, and not only.
The Dallas Mavericks took big win in overtime against the Denver Nuggets with Dirk Nowitzki having a double/double, and Danilo Gallinari scoring 12 points and grabbing 7 rebounds. With Kristaps Porzingis as a top performer, the New York Knicks defeated the Orlando Magic. Nikola Vucevic was not enough for the Florida team.
Meanwhile, Chris Paul has a fantastic game to lead the L.A. Clippers to victory over the Sacramento Kings while the Kyle Lowry’s hand keeps pushing the Raptors to the first place of the Eastern conference.
Easy – peasy for the Washington Wizards and the Atlanta Hawks. The latter dealt with the Bulls facing no serious problem, despite Pau Gasol’s solid performance (16 p. 17 r.)
