NBA Euro-watch: Gortat and Satoransky power over the Sixers

By Eurohoops team / info@eurohoops.net

Marcin Gortat and Tomas Satoransky paced the Wizards to the victory against Sixers. The Polish big man recorded yet another double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds, as Satoransky had 7 points. For the visiting side, Dario Saric tapped 13 points.

Pau Gasol and the Spurs overcame Cedi Osman and the Cavs, as the Spanish legend tapped 11 points for his team. The Turkish rookie completed the game with 4 points in 15 minutes.

Nicolas Batum and the Hornets went on to their fourth straight win against the Pistons, as the French international was one assist shy from a double-double (15 p / 9 a).

Giannis and the Bucks couldn’t outlast the Pelicans, despite the Greek Freak’s 20-point performance. Nikola Mirotic paced the winners with 14 points and 7 rebounds.

The Rockets showed no mercy to the Nuggets, with Clint Capella complimenting the victory with 6 points. Nikola Jokic’s beast-like double-double of 21 points and 14 rebounds wasn’t enough for Denver to cause the upset.
