Everything that was seen in previous seasons when it comes to Chicago, brought a new one - after a win or two, the Bulls' defeats usually follow.

This time, the second consecutive failure of our team Nikola Vucevic she scored against Utah - 135:126, in the United Center.

Likewise, the Montenegrin center played an excellent match again, but his double-dab of 23 points and 10 rebounds (he also had six assists) were not enough to defeat the "Jazzers".

Only Ayo Dosunmu with 25 points was more effective than the boy from Bar at home, while Keyonte George with 33 points and John Collins with 28 led Utah to victory.

After seven games in the new season, Chicago has a record of three wins and four losses.

Detroit was followed last year only to find out if they would become the worst team in the history of the NBA, in the end they stopped at 28 losses in a row, but this year everything is much different.

Although the Pistons started again with several losses, the last matches showed that they are now a much different team. In the previous four matches, the team from "Little Caesars Arena" registered three victories against Philadelphia, Brooklyn and last night the LA Lakers (115:103).

For the winners, Cade Cunningham was the best with a triple-double (17 points and 11 assists and rebounds each), as well as Jason Ivey with 26 points.

The great game of Anthony Davis, who scored 37 points and had nine catches and four assists, did not help the Lakers. LeBron James scored 20 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds.

And while Detroit "forgot" to count defeats, Milwaukee is getting used to it this season - a team led by stars like Janis Adetokumbo (the Greek didn't play last night due to injury) and Demjan Lillard was better than Philadelphia only at the start, and then tied six defeats in a row.

In just two days, the Bucks had to congratulate the best team in the NBA for the second time at the start of the season, Cleveland - this time in Ohio (116:114).

The team that is undefeated during the first eight games (the best start in franchise history) was led by Darius Garland with 39 points with eight assists, while Evan Mobley added 17 points. In the losing team, Lillard scored 36 points.

The previous night brought as many as 15 games from the strongest league, and certainly the basket at 0,7 seconds before the end by Domantas Sabonis for the victory of Sacramento against Miami, but the new great games of Nikola Jokić and Kevin Durant stand out.

The center from Serbia again reached a triple-double (28 points, 14 rebounds and assists each) and thus led Denver to a triumph against Toronto (121:119), while KD scored 35 points and hit two points to win against Philadelphia (118 :116) with 25 seconds left.

On the other side, Paul George on his debut for the Seventy-Sixers had a shot for the triumph, but it was not accurate three seconds before the final whistle.
