The Atlanta Hawks also lost their second game of this NBA season. The team with Clint Capela lost at home to the New York Knicks with 120:126.
Capela contributed 13 points in a balanced game and was again the best of his team in this statistic with 13 rebounds. On the other hand, the player from Geneva was the player with the worst plus/minus balance with minus 9, as was the case on Wednesday in the away defeat against the Charlotte Hornets.
French prodigy Victor Wembanyama celebrated a much-noticed debut victory. The 19-year-old top pick stepped up the game especially in the decisive phase against the Houston Rockets and had a total of 21 points and twelve rebounds in the victory over the San Antonio Spurs in extra time of 126:122 – his first double-double in the strongest basketball league in the world.
Champion Denver remains clear
“It’s just a win, but it’s a day I will remember for a long time,” said Wembanyama, who initially saved his team in extra time and then added: “I’m proud of what we did tonight.”
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was impressed by the youngster’s performance in his second NBA game: “Of course he’s a fighter. He’s determined and will do anything to win. But they’re all like that.”
Defending champion Denver Nuggets, led by superstar Nikola Jokic (22 points, twelve rebounds), earned their second victory in the second game with a 108:104 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. (SDA/AFP)
