Recap Roundups
October 18, 2017
Detroit 102, Charlotte 90
Tobias Harris stole the show early at the Detroit Pistons' new downtown building. His teammates then maintained a comfortable lead by making one steal after another.
Indiana 140, Brooklyn 131
Victor Oladipo figures a high-tempo offense is perfect for the new-look Indiana Pacers.
Orlando 116, Miami 109
Evan Fournier came to the rescue Wednesday night, something he might not have been able to do in previous years.
Washington 120, Philadelphia 115
The Washington Wizards' season-opening win over the Philadelphia 76ers represented a rare scenario where both teams were smiling postgame.
Milwaukee 108, Boston 100
Jason Kidd had to wonder how his young Milwaukee Bucks team would respond to an emotional night at TD Garden, a night when Boston Celtics fans were inspired by a video message from one of their stars in a hospital bed.
Memphis 103, New Orleans 91
While veteran guard Mike Conley scored 27 points in the Memphis Grizzlies' season-opening 103-91 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night at FedExForum, he had things other than his own performance on his mind.
Atlanta 117, Dallas 111
If the rebuilding Atlanta Hawks are going to do anything this season, it'll most likely be Dennis Schroder leading the way.
Utah 106, Denver 96
Feeling healthy has never felt better for Alec Burks.
San Antonio 107, Minnesota 99
No Kawhi Leonard, no Tony Parker, no problem. Even shorthanded and without one of the top players in the NBA, the San Antonio Spurs were too much for the new-look Minnesota Timberwolves to handle Wednesday.
Portland 124, Phoenix 76
Missing starting guard C.J. McCollum because of a suspension and losing rookie Zach Collins right before the game to a stomach virus, the Portland Trail Blazers were just trying to get through opening night against the Phoenix Suns with a victory.
Houston 105, Sacramento 100
The Houston Rockets weren't about to quibble.
