After an average start to the game, “Wemby” pulled off some spectacular actions, between blocks and dunks served by Chris Paul, to offer the Texans a second success this season. Utah is last in the West with five defeats.
Dallas close to overthrowing Houston
The Dallas Mavericks, NBA finalists in the spring, almost managed to come back from 23 points behind against the Houston Rockets, who ultimately won 108 to 102.
The Rockets were able to count on Jalen Green (23 points, 12 rebounds), facing the star duo of the Mavericks Luka Doncic (29 points) and Kyrie Irving (28 points).
Morant takes down the Bucks
Memphis Grizzlies leader Ja Morant pulled off a festival, particularly in the first period, for a big success against the Milwaukee Bucks (122-99) which brought the Tennessee franchise back to balance (3-3).
Morant compiled 26 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists for a triple double which further stunned Milwaukee, champion in 2021, at the failed start of the season.
Despite Giannis Antetokounmpo (37 points, 11 rebounds), Milwaukee lost a 4th consecutive game, its leader Damian Lillard having another bad evening (4 points to 1 of 12 shooting, 6 assists).
