Milos Teodosic scored a career-high 18 points against the Memphis Grizzlies helping his team snap a three-game losing streak.
The Serbian rookie is starting to find his touch around the rim as well as from deep and looks more and more comfortable on the floor.
Marc Gasol had a triple-double despite the loss. The Spanish star finished with 13 points, 12 boards and 10 assists.
The Utah Jazz came out with a victory in Toronto against the Raptors as Ricky Rubio hit the game winning three-pointer with 5 seconds left on the game clock.
Rudy Gobert had a huge double-double for the winning side, finishing with 18 point and 15 boards. For the losing side, Jonas Valanciunas had it going all night on his way to a monster outing.
The Lithuanian big-man had 28 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, a steal and 4 blocks.
Giannis Antetokounmpo who sat out a couple games returned to the line-up for the first time since Jason Kidd’s release and the Greek Freak put on a show.
