Antetokounmpo finished with 30 points, 13
rebounds and 11 assists before picking up his sixth foul with
5:18 remaining. The Bucks led 101-95 at that point, but they did
not collapse with the reigning NBA Most Valuable Player watching
from the bench. A collective effort carried Milwaukee to victory
in the regular-season opener for both teams, as seven Bucks
scored in double figures.
Wesley Matthews had 14 points while Ersan Ilyasova, who gave
Milwaukee its first lead at 91-90 on a second-chance basket with
8:34 remaining in the contest, added 13 for the Bucks. Eric
Bledsoe, Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez scored 11 points
apiece, and Pat Connaughton added 10.
Russell Westbrook produced 24 points, 16 rebounds and seven
assists in his Houston debut while James Harden added 19 points,
14 assists and seven rebounds. Clint Capela finished with 13
points and 12 rebounds.
Hawks 117, Pistons 100
One night after Detroit made a surprise first impression with a
season-opening win on the road, visiting Atlanta did the same to
the Pistons.
Trae Young scored 25 of his game-high 38 points in the first
half and added nine assists and seven rebounds to lead the Hawks
to a win in their season opener at Detroit. Young went 11 of 21
from the floor, including 6 of 10 from 3-point range.
Derrick Rose came off of the bench to score 27 points in 25
minutes, and Andre Drummond had 21 points and 12 rebounds in
defeat for the Pistons.
Clippers 141, Warriors 122
Los Angeles scored the first 14 points in the regular-season
history of Golden State's new home, the Chase Center in San
Francisco, and rode balanced scoring to a front-running romp
over the five-time defending Western Conference champions.
Lou Williams had 22 points to lead five Clippers with 16 or more
as the visitors built upon a season-opening victory over the
Lakers with a blowout win in which they never trailed.
Playing a regular-season game in San Francisco for the first
time since 1971, the Warriors watched as Clippers center Ivica
Zubac scored the first five points in Chase Center
regular-season history and Patrick Patterson added a pair of
3-pointers in the game-opening, 14-0 flurry.
