Dallas Abuses Charlotte, Phoenix Tears Portland | Israel today

Charlotte - Dallas 127:59.

This meeting cannot be given the title of a training or preparation game, because the Hornets seemed to not belong in the best league in the world, not even in the Euroleague.

The Mavericks did not care about Charlotte's situation and quarter after quarter she simply widened the gap against the helpless opponent, with Luka Doncic allowing himself to play in first gear and settle for a modest stat line of 10 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists in 26 minutes.

Leading Dallas were Tim Hardway with 20 points and Christpas Forzingis with 17 points and nine rebounds.

For Charlotte, James Bucknite scored 12 points and Cody Martin 11, the only ones in double figures.

Phoenix - Portland 74: 119. 

The Suns also did not face much opposition against the Blazers on the way to an easy victory by 45 points, and it is doubtful whether it can treat this game as a serious preparation.

Damian Lilliard with 12 points (1 of 6 from outside the arc) as a leading scorer teaches everything about the Blazers, who did not seem ready for the opening of the upcoming season.

The Suns, who took advantage of the rival's weakness to distribute loads and give opportunities to a host of players to prove themselves, were as usual at the top of the scoring list Devin Booker with 17 points in 18 minutes.

Morning with the ball.

Milwaukee - Utah 124: 120.

The champion hosted the Jazz for a game that mentioned that there are teams that are still playing as if the season has opened, even though the Bucks need to go up a bit more.

Chris Middleton led the losers with 25 points and Yannis Antocompo was sharp with 21 points in 21 minutes, but perhaps a little more help than the rest of the Bucks players would have been from a winning streak to the Bucks.

In Utah, Jordan Clarkson with 18 points and Jared Butler with 16 were the arrowheads, but most players on the team were helped to secure the victory, for example Bogdan Bogdanovich's 14 points.

A total of six jazz players scored in double figures.
