It was a memorable day for Euro-ballers. French legend Tony Parker returned to action and looked good in a 115-108 against the Mavericks. TP9 scored 6 points to go with 4 assists in his return.
Don Pau Gasol had an impressive game on the offensive end. The Spanish sensation had 25 points, 6 boards, 4 assists and an assist.
For the losing side, Dirk Nowitzki had 11 points, 4 boards and 2 assists while fellow German Maxi Kleber had 5 points and 5 boards in a loss.
Domantas Sabonis was impressive once again and helped the Pacers beat the Orland Magic 121-109.
The Lithuanian big-man had 19 points, 8 boards and 5 assists. Bojan Bogdanovic chipped in with 22 points and 3 rebounds in a win.
For the losing side, Nicola Vucevic had a double-double (16 p. 12 r.) and Evan Fournier had 12 points.
The Sacramento Kings managed to get their first win (110-106) in Oakland since 2013 behind Bogdan Bogdanovic’s game winning bank shot over Draymond Green.
The Serbian star hit a pair of free-throws to seal the big win. He finished with 12 points, 2 boards and 3 assists.
Omri Casspi’s ( 9 p. 4 r.) and Zaza Pachlia’s (3 p. 3 r. 4 a.) effort fell short for the losing side.
