Dario Saric may have only scored 19 points but it was his hustle and defense that spirited the home team’s come-back to win it 104-102. Marco Belinelli added 17 points in his Sixers debut which will surely be memorable.
Goran Dragic scored 18 points adding 3 boards and 4 assists for Miami.
The Utah Jazz won their eleventh straight game behind a big double-double by Rudy Gobert.
The French big-man had 14 points, 17 boards and one assist in a 107-97 home win.
Ukrainian center Alex Len was a force on both sides of the floor for Phoenix. He finished the game with 14 points, 7 boards, 3 steals and 4 blocks.
Finally, Czech point-guard Tomas Satoransky dished out a career-high 11 dimes in a road 118-113 win over the New York Knicks. French center Ian Mahinmi chipped in with 17 points off the bench.
Enes Kanter had another monster double-double with 24 points, 14 rebounds adding 5 assists and a block.
