October 30, 2017
Boston 108, San Antonio 94
Kyrie Irving is clearly making himself more at home with his new team.
Minnesota 125, Miami 122

New York 116, Denver 110
Off the court, it was a turbulent offseason for Kristaps Porzingis.
Philadelphia 115, Houston 107
There was a lesson to be learned from the last time Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid and the youthful 76ers encountered a fourth-quarter charge from the veteran-laden Rockets, yet the question that begged to be answered was this: Had Simmons and Co. fully grasped it?
Charlotte 104, Memphis 99
The technical foul Kemba Walker received midway through the third quarter didn't appear to be the pick-me-up it eventually became.
