Biggest story from Friday night’s full slate of games….Lakers dropping to 0-5. Lebron was the silver lining however, dropping 28 and making history in the process. The Cavs’ Donovan Mitchell and Caris Levert go full throttle on the C’s combining for 82 points in an OT win. The C’s stopped moving the ball down the stretch and paid for it with an ‘L.’
The Hawks improve to 4 – 1 behind Trae’s 36 with 12 dimes. Rookie Paolo Banchero puts up a double double with 21 and 12 to lead the Magic to their first win, Tyrese Maxey goes ballistic with 44 to lead the Sixers to their second win. The Pacers get 27 and 10 from Myles Turner in a win over the Wizards while the Bucks stay undefeated with a win over the Knicks. The surprising Spurs outlast the Bulls to improve to 4 – 2 and the Nuggets run away from the Jazz. The Suns assert themselves and outlast the Pelicans and Portland improves to 5 – 1 after cruising past the 1 – 5 Rockets.
