Milwaukee - Brooklyn 104: 127
One thing is for sure after the season opener: The championship has not satisfied Yannis Antocompo and Milwaukee, who look ripe for the title fight and are determined to prove to commentators who still doubt them that their estimates are wrong.
This night was a direct continuation of the team's championship celebrations, from start to finish: it started with the ceremony of receiving the rings and hanging the championship flag on the ceiling of the home hall, and continued with a convincing display in front of the one who surrendered to the Bucks last year. Their main rival for the crown in the East this season.
On the night that Yannis Antocompo and Kevin Durant were selected by the NBA to the list of the 75 best players of all time, they both looked excellent, but still Yannis displayed a slight superiority, and mostly seemed to be surrounded by a much deeper and more mature team.
The champion pressed the pedal already in the first quarter, opening a double-digit advantage that reaches its peak at 19.
Reminded everyone: The championship goes through Milwaukee.

The Hunts, who throughout the break were forced to engage in the ongoing saga surrounding Kyrie Irving's immunization, looked helpless except for the flickers of Durant, Harden and Patti Mills. While they managed to narrow the gap a bit and go down to the break at just minus 7, they failed to get any closer until the end of the game, with Milwaukee repeatedly increasing the lead to double digits and not allowing Steve Nash's rising star team to feel they are really in the picture.
Antokompo who returned to the floor for the first time since the giant display with 50 points in the championship game, continued from that point when he finished 31 minutes with a statistic of 32 points (12 from 25 from the field, 7 from 9 from the penalty spot), 14 rebounds, 7 assists and two blocks, Chris Middleton (9 Rebounds) and Pat Conaton contributed 20 each, and the X Factor was the forward candidate for the break Jordan Noura, who scored 15 and was entrusted in some minutes to Kevin Durant, fulfilling the role played by PJ Tucker who left last year.
While Durant once again seemed unstoppable on offense and finished with 32 points of his own (13 from 25 from the field) alongside 11 rebounds, 4 assists and two blocks, the help he received was not enough.
Patti Mills was the leading scorer with 21 including 7 of 7 from the three, James Harden added 20, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, but Blake Griffin, Paul Millsap and Marcus Aldridge, who are supposed to be the team's experienced X Factors, added 6 points Shared only.
