The Indiana Pacers visited the Portland Trail Blazers in what was a “dog fight” up until the fourth. Jusuf Nurkic took advantage of the fact Indiana missing their starting center, Myles.
Domantas Sabonis just missed a double-double with 9 points and 10 boards for the losing side.
The Boston Celtics had their work cut out for them as they hosted the 76ers without their leader, Kyrie Irving.
After losing the first three match-ups of the season Philadelphia managed to beat the Celtics 89-80.
Dario Saric was excellent for his team with 16 points, 6 boards, 2 assists and 2 steals.
