Utah hosted Oklahoma and failed to stop the season leader. Thunder answered the questions about the winner of the match, which they won with a score of 45:20, in the first quarter. Then the guests calmly controlled the course of events on the field and won a landslide victory – 131:101.

With this win, Oklahoma became the third team in NBA history to start the season with a record of 23/1 or better.

Svyatoslav Mikhayyuk The player, who traditionally played in the starting five for Jazz and played 33 minutes, recorded 6 points (2/3 three-pointers), 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals, 3 turnovers and 1 foul.

In the absence of Gilgeous-Alexander, the most productive players for Oklahoma were Williams and Holmgren, who scored 25 points each.

Oklahoma’s main pursuers continue to be Denver and the Lakers.

The Nuggets played Charlotte on the road and had an inconsistent first half; Meanwhile, the difference changed 21 times and the maximum difference of both teams was 8 points. As a result, the teams entered the big break with the Hornets leading by 58:57 points. Seizing the initiative in the third quarter, Denver gained a 6-point lead and achieved a score of 87:81. In the last quarter, the visiting team not only held on but also improved its advantage, winning 115:106.

This time Jokic fell one rebound short of a triple-double – 28 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists, but it was not he who was the most productive in Denver, but Murray, who scored 34 points.

The Lakers were also playing away and their opponent was Philadelphia. The 76ers won the first half with a 7-point lead at 60:53, but failed in the third quarter, during which they missed many of the opponent’s breakthroughs, the biggest of which was 10:0, and were in a catch-up role with 84:87 before the fourth quarter. However, the home team still managed to come back and with one and a half minutes left in the quarter, the score was equalized: 105:105, but LeBron James’ three-pointer and two-pointer made the score 105:110. The result is 108:112 in favor of the Lakers.

James scored 29 points in this game, but it wasn’t his team’s best; Doncic had a triple-double with 31 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists. Ayton (14 points + 12 rebounds) and Drummond (11 points + 12 rebounds) recorded double-doubles.
