Moritz Wagner convinced on his debut for the Los Angeles Lakers. His team may have lost out in the end, but the German just missed out on becoming a top scorer. Jaren Jackson burned down fireworks at the Grizzlies.
Points: Jaren Jackson Jr. (29) – Tyler Dorsey (18)

Assists: Brandon Goodwin (5) – Tyler Dorsey (4)
Of course, the duel between Jaren Jackson Jr. (#4) and Trae Young (#5) was the focus here – with a quite clear result at the end. With 29 points Memphis’ Jackson not only won the individual matchup clearly, he also “stole” Young’s speciality and sunk 8 of his 13 attempts in three – including a halfcourt buzzer beater from the centre line.
On the other hand, Young flashed his potential with the Hawks, but for the most part he caught a used evening. Although he played with self-confidence in his throw, he remained cold and hit only 4 of his 20 field throws as well as one of his 11 threesomes.
Points: Georges Niang (17) – Derrick White (22)
Rebounds: Tony Bradley (11) – Amida Brimah (9)
Assists: Grayson Allen (7) – Derrick White (6)
The Spurs started quite weakly into this game, but thanks to Derrick White found their way quickly – only to break in again. In the second quarter, the jazz came around the corner with an intensity – especially in the defense – with which San Antonio was overwhelmed. A balanced score turned into a 17-point lead for Utah before half-time.
After the change of sides, the Spurs didn’t have enough arrows in their quiver to initiate a comeback, although Derrick White still had good actions. Rookie Lonnie Walker disappointed (3/36 FG), Grayson Allen (11 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists) scratched the triple double in the jazz.
