The NBA night delivered its share of emotions and remarkable performances. Without Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks still managed to dominate the Golden State Warriors (120-110).

The victory is largely thanks to a red-hot Ryan Rollins, the true architect of the win with 32 points and 8 assists. The point guard took the reins of the team, securing the victory against the Warriors' onslaught, despite Stephen Curry's 27 points. Rollins proved particularly decisive in the key moments.

In San Antonio, Victor Wembanyama continues to impress. Thanks to a masterful performance (27 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 blocks), the French center led the Spurs to their fifth consecutive victory (107-101 against Miami), a record for a season opener in the history of the Texas franchise. The resistance of Bam Adebayo (31 points) wasn't enough against a "Wemby" who dominated the end of the game.

Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder continued their perfect run. With a comfortable 127-108 victory over the Washington Wizards, OKC notched their sixth win in as many games. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander once again showcased his efficiency (31 points, 7 assists, 0 turnovers). For the Wizards, Bilal Coulibaly's strong performance (16 points) wasn't enough to turn the tide of this one-sided contest.

Finally, the Orlando Magic got off the mark by securing their first win of the season on Charlotte's home court (123-107), thanks to a well-oiled machine led by the trio of Wagner–Banchero–Black.
