NBA’s preseason continues and the European players are already showing what they are made of.
The Wizards slipped away with the victory in double overtime, with Tomas Satoransky being more than efficient in the court. In 40 minutes, the ex Barcelona guard scored just 10 points, but handed out 6 assists and grabbed an equal amount of rebounds. It is to be noted that the Czech player had the longest playing time than any other of his teammates yesterday. On the same game, ex rival with Real Madrid Sergio Rodriguez added 4 points and 5 assists for the 76ers.
Hornets‘ Nic Batum and Marco Belinelli scored 8 and 9 points respectively in the tough loss at Boston.
Boban Marjanovic made his debut with the Pistons against the Nets and the Serbian giant contributed 5 points to his new team in 8 minutes.
Hawks‘ Thabo Sefolosha added 7 points in 13 minutes in his team’s victory against the Grizzles. With 2 more minutes of playing time in the same game, big man Marc Gasol managed to score 7 points.
Bulls have lost from the Pacers and Nikola Mirotic added 4 points in a rather futile night (1/7 FG).
Finally, the performance of the Greek duo of Sacramento Kings, Kosta Koufos and George Papagiannis, wasn’t satisfied. The first finished the game with 5 points in just 13 minutes, while the latter had a futile night.
The results:
Chicago Bulls vs Indiana Pacers 108-115
Washington Wizards vs Philadelphia 76ers 125-119
Boston Celtics vs Charlotte Hornets 107-92
Detroit Pistons vs Brooklyn Nets 94-101
Atlanta Hawks vs Memphis Grizzles 104-83
Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors 96-105
