“We still have a lot of work to do,”groaned Sixers coach Brett Brown after the failed first preseason game.Without Joel Embiid, Philly broke apart after a balanced first half in the second half.Only 34 percent shot the Sixers out of the field.Markelle Fultz (4 points, 3 assists, 2/13 FG) and Ben Simmons (6 points, 2/8 FG), who still played 7 rebounds and 9 assists, had big problems.

But there were also other rays of hope.J. J.Redick scored 11 points for both of his three and Jahlil Okafor, coming from the bank, scored 13 points (5/6 FG) and 6 rebounds.He was top scorer of the Sixers together with Robert Covington.Not included besides Embiid were Dario Saric (deserved), Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (knee) and Amir Johnson (ankle).

But even the grizzlies didn’t start in best cast.Mike Conley, Marc Gasol, Tyreke Evans and Ben McLemore were missing, so role-players like Brandan Wright could shine with 16 points and 8 rebounds.Mario Chalmers was unable to continue his good shooting and came in at 8 points (2/7 FG).

Instead, Andrew Harrison (14 points, 5 assists) was another Guard from the bank.Chandler Parsons got 17 minutes of starting time again, but with 5 points and 3 rebounds he remained unobtrusive.The young Kobi Simmons, on the other hand, recommended himself in ten minutes with 9 points and a perfect yield (4/4 FG, 1/1 FT).

No LeBron James (ankles) in the first game of the Cavs, but a lot of new faces.Derrick Rose, Jae Crowder and Dwyane Wade all started and made a good impression at first.At 28:20 the first quarter went to the East Champion.Coach Ty Lue was equally satisfied,”I think we had 15 assists on our first 17 field goals.The starters played the layouts well.”

All five starters saw 15 minutes of play, after that it was closing time.Love gained 12 points and 5 rebounds as the new center, Wade scored 7 points and 4 assists.Rose only took three throws and scored 7 points.The reservists, on the other hand, dropped and lost their early advantage.Top scorer of the Cavs was Guard Kay Felder with 13 points (5/11 FG).

Atlanta was more broadly positioned.Dennis Schröder scored 18 points (7/15 FG) in 25 minutes and only managed to turn over 4 assists.In general, the offense worked much better.After only 81 points against the Miami Heat, coach Budenholzer’s team played 109.Taurean Prince scored 15 points and 8 rebounds.

The cast from outside also played a bigger role this time. 37 attempts were fired on the basket by the Hawks, twelve of them found their target.Luke Babbitt sunk their three.Surprisingly, Center Dewayne Dedmon (13 points, 4 rebounds) tried it twice and hit it once.

The Detroit Pistons now officially have a new home in downtown Detroit, the Little Ceasars Arena.The pistons also had the chance to take the lead 10 seconds before the end, but Tobias Harris (13 points, 9 rebounds) lost the spalding and Cody Zeller made sure that the line was clear.

Stan van Gundy left his starters on the field for a long time.Playmaker Ish Smith plays 31 minutes and scored 10 points and 7 assists.Reggie Jackson was still missing because of a groin injury.Andre Drummond also played a handsome double-double in the preseason (16 points, 15 rebounds).The new shooting guard Avery Bradley contributed 14 points, Stanley Johnson came in at 8.

After a weak first game, the Hornets saw Rookie Malik Monk emerge.Although his cast selection wasn’t always ideal, the result was 19 points (5/14 FG) and four sunk threesomes in ten attempts.Jeremy Lamb confirmed his good condition and contributed 18 points (5/9 FG, 8/11 FT).

Dwight Howard also improved with 12 points and 11 rebounds and kept his promise.The center tried twice from downtown, but was unlucky, and Frank Kaminsky did the same thing, hitting 13 points, but taking only one of his eight threesomes through the Reuse.
