Denver was led to victory by Nikola Jokic, who collected 35 points and 13 rebounds. He spent 36 minutes on the court as the Nuggets’ subs didn’t fare well. They lost to their counterparts 12:42. “Our bench didn’t do well today. The young guys were probably not well prepared for the match. It happened for the first time in the season and we have to learn from it,” said Denver coach Michael Malone, whose team won the eighth game out of nine so far.

Stephen Curry scored 23 points for the visitors, including six three-pointers. Both teams were weakened. Denver was without Jamal Murray for the second straight time with a muscle injury. The Warriors played without Draymond Green, who was absent for personal reasons, and Gary Payton II, who was ill.

“We have a new coach, a new system, a lot of new guys. We’re trying to get everybody up to speed and see what happens,” Embiid said. The best scorer of the match was Boston’s Kristaps Porzingis with 29 points.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had an excellent shooting performance, scoring 43 points to help Oklahoma City beat Cleveland 128-120. The 25-year-old Canadian was just one point shy of his career high.

“I know what my strengths are,” he commented on the fact that he only made two 3-pointers. “I felt good and I wanted to play what I can and finish the way I can,” he said. Cleveland, which has won just three of eight games, was led by Caris LeVert with 29 points. Donovan Mitchell, who was the league’s leading scorer before the game, scored 20 points.
