Jayson Tatum literally decided the fate of the match: as time expired in overtime, the forward sank a mid-range jumper, giving the hosts a victory by a narrow one-point margin. Overall, Tatum put on an outstanding performance on the court, scoring 40 points while adding five rebounds and eight assists. Paul George also made a significant contribution to the success, recording 20 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists. ### New York vs. Detroit: The Knicks' First Win of the Season New York finally claimed its first victory of the new season by defeating Detroit on their home court. The third period proved to be the turning point: it was then that the New Yorkers seized the initiative, built a comfortable lead, and held it until the final buzzer. The main hero of the match was Karl-Anthony Towns, who posted a double-double with 27 points and 20 rebounds. Jalen Brunson supported him by adding 23 points and seven assists. ### San Antonio vs. Sacramento: Foundation of Victory Laid in the First Half The Spurs convincingly defeated Sacramento, laying the groundwork for their success as early as the first half of the game. The hosts scored 80 points in the first two quarters and went into halftime with a comfortable lead that the opponent was never able to overcome. Victor Wembanyama was the top scorer for the winners with 29 points, 10 rebounds, and five blocks. Julian Champagnie also stood out, scoring 26 points with eight made three-pointers. ### Portland vs. Lakers: Doncic's 41 Points Not Enough for Visitors Portland continued its successful start to the season by beating the Lakers on the road 136-129. The visitors played a high-scoring game and maintained their lead despite attempts by the Los Angeles team to turn the tide in the final quarter. Luka Doncic scored 41 points and dished out nine assists, but his individual scoring could not save the Lakers from their first defeat after three opening wins. Meanwhile, Portland claimed its third consecutive victory and remains among the undefeated teams in the new season. ### Game Day Summary Thus, the night of October 28 became a turning point for several teams: Boston and New York are strengthening their positions in the East, San Antonio confirms its status as a favorite, and Portland continues its flawless start. For the Lakers, the defeat served as the first sign that even Doncic's star scoring does not guarantee victory without team play.
