Another great game by the Montenegrin center Nikola Vučević was in vain, Chicago was outplayed by the son of the Bulls icon - Scottie Pippen Jr. in the Memphis jersey - 142:131.
Pippen led the Grizzlies with 30 points and 10 rebounds. The defeated team was not helped by the excellent game of Nikola Vučević, who had 26 points and eight rebounds. Vucevic hit nine of 14 shots, two of four for three, and had three assists and one steal, but also five wrong passes.
The surprise of the evening was provided by the San Antonio Spurs who defeated the Golden State Warriors. Steph Curry couldn't hit anything. He missed as many as 11 of 16 shots from the field and remained at 14 points. The Spurs used it 104:94. Victor Vembanjama was great in the winning team with 25 points, seven rebounds and nine assists.
Nikola Jokić once again outplayed the "lakemen" and Somborac once again showed that the star tandem of the Lakers, LeBron James and Anthony Davis, have no solution for his game. Jokić was two assists short of a triple-double.
But he still impressed Lamelo Ball on NBA night with 50 points, five rebounds and 10 assists, but it wasn't enough for Charlotte to celebrate in Milwaukee. Greek Janis Adetokunbo and Damien Lillard scored 63 points for the Bucks' 125:119 victory.
