Hawks defeat the Mavs: 113-87
Top scorer for each team:
Hawks: Trae Young – 19 points, 14 Ast and 2 Rebounds
Mavs: Luka Dončić – 18 points, 7 Ast and 11 Rebounds
What a showing for the Atlanta Hawks, this was a blowout the entire game. The Mavs just weren’t there tonight. This isn’t concerning since it is just the first game, but Jason Kidd better finds a solution soon because Trae young is looking to be a better fit than Luka can ever dream of.
The Hawks played incredibly well; I want to focus on Cam Reddish who is only 22 years old. Last season he was injured for most of the season, so I don’t count that. This season though he has already started off fantastic. Recording 20/1/3 on a night where he came off the bench. He’s going to be special with this Hawks team.
Miami Heat defeat the Bucks: 137-95
Top scorer for each team:
Bucks: Giannis Antetokounmpo – 15 points, 2 Ast and 10 Rebounds
Heat: Tyler Herro – 27 points, 5 Ast and 6 Rebounds
Another blowout game, but this one is a little different. At one point it was 17-40 in the first. This game was over in the first 5 minutes of the game. The Miami Heat had this game circled on their calendar since it was announced. And it showed, the Bucks played horrible. This could have just been an off night for the Bucks’ But this game shows that the Bucks have some competition in the East other than the Nets when they get their rotation together.
Warriors defeat the Clippers: 115-113
Top scorer for each team:
Clippers: Paul George – 29 points, 6 Ast and 11 Rebounds
Warriors: Stephen Curry – 45 points, 1 Ast and 10 Rebounds
Steph Curry had one of the greatest halves of his career ever and starting season quarters for that matter. Last night he dropped 25 points in the first quarter!! Yes, you read that right, he was absolutely insane last night. Shooting on 9-9 he couldn’t be stopped. This is also the first time that curry has made his first 10 shots in his career, so you knew tonight was going to be special.
The Warriors had this game on lock until the mid-third quarter where the clippers crawled back to make this a back-and-forth game. Paul George was able to carry this squad as far as he could, but who else is there to help him? The Clippers need that extra push while Kawhi is out for the potential season, so expect some changes to occur.
