Devin Booker freezes Tristan da Silva with the fake then beats him to the hoop for a tough two and a foul.
Off the strength of a 14-0 run, the Suns have built a 34-29 lead late in the first quarter. The Magic have gotten a boost from Cole Anthony with seven points off the bench as they play their first game without Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero this season.

Nikola Jokić stuffed the stat sheet in the first quarter against Atlanta, with 13 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and a steal, as the Nuggets hold a 38-23 lead after a quarter of play. 

Isaiah Wong finishes the first-half scoring for the Hornets with this nice and-1 that ends with him hitting the floor.

The Bucks got hot, outscoring the Nets by 10 in the final 5:46 of the contest to win 118-113. Bobby Portis was on fire down the stretch, hitting a key three to give Milwaukee a 109-108 lead with two minutes remaining. He followed that up with a block that led to a Giannis dunk.
Antetokounmpo finished his day with a 34-point, 11-rebound double-double, while Portis’ 5-5 shooting from three and 23 points off the bench were clutch. Schröder tied Giannis with a 34-point effort and also finished the night with 11 dimes, while Nic Claxton secured a double-double too with 21 points and 10 rebounds for Brooklyn. 

 
Gary Trent Jr. goes up, hangs and glides under the rim, and gets a reverse finish for two, and the Nets have a 98-95 lead over the Bucks with several minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
