On the night of November 1, seven games took place in the National Basketball Association regular season, delivering several bright storylines to fans. The central one featured Utah Jazz Ukrainian guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, whose spectacular pass made it into the top 10 plays of the game day. Simultaneously, San Antonio put on a true show thanks to Victor Wembanyama, while Memphis maintained its status as the league's only undefeated team.
Utah Suffers Fourth Consecutive Defeat
Playing at home, the Utah Jazz lost to the Portland Trail Blazers with a score of 90:112, suffering their fourth straight defeat. The visitors seized the initiative from the opening minutes and maintained control over the game's flow until the final buzzer, meaning the Ukrainian legionnaire, despite his personal contribution, could not save the team from another season loss.
Mykhailiuk Makes Top 10 Plays of the Day
Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk spent 18 minutes on the floor, scoring 6 points (2 of 5 shooting from distance), along with 1 rebound and 3 assists. The main highlight of his performance was brilliant passing work: the guard delivered a spectacular between-the-legs pass that culminated in a dunk—an episode that deservedly entered the top 10 best moments of the NBA game day.
Wembanyama and the San Antonio Show
In another match of the game day, San Antonio confidently defeated Minnesota 121:111. The key figure of the encounter was Victor Wembanyama, who put up a fantastic 43 points and virtually decided the outcome of the match in his team's favor across all quarters.
Memphis Remains the Only Undefeated Team
Meanwhile, Memphis crushed Sacramento 136:105 and maintained its status as the only team in the league that has not lost a single match in the new season. The crushing score highlights the Grizzlies' current form and their claims to leadership at the start of the regular season.
Context: Ukraine Women's National Team
