Memphis got the 110-94 win over Oklahoma City Thunder with Spanish star Marc Gasol leading the Grizzlies to the win (21 p., 7 r., 3 as.) and also having a quarrel with Russell Westbrook.
For the Thunder, an other Spaniard led all scorers. Alex Abrines scored 19 points making 5 out of 6 three pointers.
Lithuanian Domantas Sabonis (8 p.), Turk Ersan Ilyasova (9 p., 5 r.) and Frenchman Joffrey Lauvergne (1 p., 5 r.) also did their job, while Enes Kanter did not played.
Here’s what happened between Gasol and Westbrook as the two players exchanged some words and have to be restrained by their teammates in order to calm down.
In Atlanta, Dennis Schroder gave a real show with 17 points and 9 assists as the starting point guard, but Detroit got the road win (99-94) with Boban Marjanovic contributing 7 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
