The Warriors fought without the top three on Wednesday as the Houston Rockets' guest, with Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and D'Angelo Russell both injured. On the other side of the Texas guard, James Harden, the sniper of the past two seasons, finished with 36 points and 13 assists, and each scored at least ten points.
Jannis Antetokunmpo, who was voted best last season, led Milwaukee with 38 points and 16 rebounds as a guest at the Los Angeles Clippers. The Californians did not make the playoffs in June, the best of the finals, Kawhi Leonard, who had already been rested in his second game. In his absence, Montrezl Harrell achieved a career-high 34 points.
He finished fourth in the New York series - this time in Detroit - and has only won one of his eight games so far.
Dallas, led by 27-point Slovenian Luka Doncic, beat Orlando by leading 107-102 two and a half minutes before the end, but did not throw a basket after that.
