Bucks beat Rockets 117-111 in Westbrook's Houston debut
October 24, 2019

HOUSTON (AP) When Giannis Antetokounmpo fouled out with more than five minutes left after putting up a triple-double against the Houston Rockets, the rest of the Milwaukee Bucks didn't panic.

''These guys in this locker room, we're fighters, we're competitors,'' Wesley Matthews said. ''If Giannis fouls out we can't just come into the locker room.''

Antetokounmpo scored 30 points and his supporting cast held on to lead the Bucks to a 117-111 victory over the Rockets on Thursday night in a star-studded opener featuring the last three MVPs.

Antetokounmpo, the MVP last season, also had 13 rebounds and 11 assists. While certainly upset after fouling out, he was impressed with the way his team responded.

''They did an amazing job,'' he said. ''Moving the ball, knocking down shots.''

Brook Lopez made two free throws with about a minute left before a layup by Russell Westbrook. But Lopez made a fadeaway shot to leave Milwaukee up 115-109 with 39 seconds remaining. James Harden added a pair of free throws before Ersan Ilyasova made a jump shot with about 15 seconds to go that sent many fans heading to the exits.

Some had wondered what would happen with the pairing of the two ball-dominant guards in Harden and Westbrook after the 2017 MVP was traded from Oklahoma City for Chris Paul this summer. In their first game together with the Rockets both filled up the stat sheet, but they were unable to come away with a win after leading for much of the game.

Westbrook had 24 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists.

Harden, the 2018 MVP, added 19 points, 14 assists and seven rebounds. He was 2 of 13 from the field, 1 of 8 on 3s and made 14 free throws without a miss.

''They're going to be fine,'' coach Mike D'Antoni said. ''It's sad to say, but we're not going to win 82 games this year. Now we've got a chance to win 81.''

The Bucks led by six when Antetokounmpo fouled out. He walked to coach Mike Budenholzer and implored him to challenge the call, but he'd already used his one challenge per game that coaches get this season and couldn't do anything to help his superstar.

Harden echoed his D'Antoni's sentiment and raved about Westbrook.

''Everybody saw it tonight,'' Harden said. ''He's a different type of breed on that court. But it's Game 1, we're not going to get too down, and even if we won, we're not going to get too excited.''

Houston scored the next five points, with the last four from Westbrook to cut the lead to 101-100. But Khris Middleton hit a 3-pointer with 3 1/2 minutes left to stretch Milwaukee's lead.

The Bucks were up by six with about two minutes left before P.J. Tucker knocked a 3 from the corner. But Matthews added a 3-pointer for Milwaukee seconds after that to push the lead to 111-105.

Milwaukee opened the fourth quarter with a 13-3 run to make it 91-90 and take its first lead of the night. Antetokounmpo led the way in stretch, scoring eight points. The Rockets missed several shots and had a turnover before they finally got back on track.

There were about eight minutes left when Harden found Westbrook connected on two straight plays. On the first one Harden dished to Westbrook and he was fouled on a layup to get a 3-point play. The next time down the court Harden sent a bounce pass to Westbrook in the lane and he finished with a two-handed dunk that put Houston up 95-91 and brought a huge ovation from the crowd.

But the Bucks made the next 10 points, led by five from Brook Lopez, who capped the run with a 3-pointer to make it 101-95 with about 5 1/2 minutes left.

TIP-INS

Bucks: Lopez had 14 points and four rebounds. ... Ilyasova had13 points and 11 rebounds off the bench. ... Milwaukee made 16 of 46 3-pointers.

Rockets: Tucker had 17 points and made five 3-pointers. ... Houston also made 16 3-pointers. ... Clint Capela had 13 points and 12 rebounds.

NBA/CHINA RELATIONSHIP

A group of 30 fans held signs and wore shirts in support of anti-government protesters in Hong Kong at the game.

Houston general manager Daryl Morey angered China with a since-deleted tweet in support of the protesters earlier this month.

Wednesday's opening-night games were not televised in China in the wake of Morey's tweet that caused tension between the NBA and Chinese officials.

One man held a sign the read: ''Thank you Morey,'' with a red heart after Morey's name. Another sign read: ''No censorship in America'' and a third declared: ''Freedom is not FREE.'' Another man held a sign that said: ''Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong,'' which are the exact words included in Morey's tweet.

Bucks: Host Miami on Saturday.

Trae Young has 38 points, Hawks beat Pistons 117-110
October 24, 2019

DETROIT (AP) Trae Young feels like a veteran as he enters his second NBA season.

That'sbad news for the rest of the league.

Young had 38 points and nine assists and the Atlanta Hawks opened the season with a 117-100 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Thursday night.

''I'm a lot more comfortable than I was at this point last year,'' Young said. ''Obviously, I'm not a rookie anymore and I felt great out there tonight. Once I hit a couple shots, I knew it was rolling.''

If anyone at Little Caesars Arena doubted how good Young was feeling, he made it clear midway through the second quarter, hitting a 3-pointer from the edge of the Pistons logo at half court.

''I knew it was deep, but I didn't realize I was on the logo until someone told me at halftime,'' he said. ''Ever since high school, I've known when I was in range and let it go.''

John Collins added 20 points and 10 rebounds, and Jabari Parker had 18 points.

Vince Carter checked in for Atlanta with 6:52 left in the first quarter, becoming the first player to see action in 22 NBA seasons.

''Vince stabilizes this team,'' Hawks coach Lloyd Pierce said. ''Our starting lineup has about half as many years as he does, and we've got a bunch of guys who weren't even born when he started. He didn't have a basket tonight, but the boxscore can't show you everything he did to help us win.''

Derrick Rose led Detroit with 27 points, and Andre Drummond had 21 points and 12 rebounds.

Drummond had 32 points and 23 rebounds in Detroit's season-opening victory on Wednesday in Indiana, but the Hawks scored 60 points in the paint.

''I thought we came out tonight with a laissez-faire attitude defensively, and they took the game to us,'' Pistons coach Dwane Casey said. ''We had a good game last night, but that didn't mean a hill of beans tonight.''

Drummond, who played 78 minutes in just over 24 hours, didn't think that was the problem.

''I really didn't have time to ease myself into the game, but this was just a tough night for us overall,'' he said. ''We're NBA players. There's no excuse for the way we started the game.''

Young's four-point play with 3:43 left in the first half gave him 26 points - the highest-scoring half of his career - and put the Hawks up 58-51.

Rose, though, scored 15 points in the half and Langston Galloway's late 3-pointer gave Detroit a 63-60 halftime lead.

The teams stayed close for most of the quarter, but back-to-back dunks by Parker - one over Thon Maker - put Atlanta up 88-79. Parker added two free throws, giving him 18 points, and the Hawks took a 91-81 lead into the break.

De'Andre Hunter's 3-pointer extended Atlanta's lead to 97-83 with 8:47 to play. Detroit scored the next four points before the game was delayed for several minutes because of the clock failure.

The Pistons narrowed the lead to 98-92, but a pair of Rose turnovers helped the Hawks scored the next seven points and take a 13-point lead with 4:47 to play.

Detroit got the margin to single digits, but Young's three-point play with 1:33 wrapped it up.

TIP INS

HAWKS: Carter has played 62 games against Detroit, second only to the 64 he has played against the Boston Celtics. Only 11 players have faced the Pistons more often since the NBA-ABA merger, led by Robert Parish with 90.

PISTONS: PF Blake Griffin (hamstring/knee) is expected to miss three more games before being evaluated for a possible return.

OLD-SCHOOL BASKETBALL

The teams played without game and shot clocks for three minutes in the fourth period. The time remaining was announced at each stoppage in play and the shot clock was announced at 10 seconds and counted down from five. The clocks returned to the scoreboard for the final six minutes, but the boards above the baskets remained blank.

''That was disappointing - I don't know what happened - but it disrupts the flow of the game when you are looking around to see the clock,'' Casey said.

INJURY UPDATE

Reggie Jackson left early in the third quarter due to back tightness. Casey said he will be examined on Friday to see if he can face the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday.

UP NEXT

Hawks: Host Orlando on Saturday night.

Pistons: Host Philadelphia on Saturday night.

Now with Clippers, Kawhi Leonard spoils Warriors fun again
October 24, 2019

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Kawhi Leonard sure knows how to spoil Golden State's fun.

Leonard did it again in the Warriors' first game at Chase Center just like in their farewell at Oracle Arena four months ago, scoring 21 points in three quarters to lead the Los Angeles Clippers to a 141-122 victory Thursday on opening night at Golden State's snazzy new arena.

Reigning NBA Finals MVP Leonard shot 9 for 17 and also dished out nine assists in his second game with L.A. after leading the Toronto Raptors to their first title last season in a six-game finals against the Warriors.

''I thought he started doing it in the second round last year,'' Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. ''In the first round he was just dominating and then I thought as each round went on he started playmaking more and more, but what he's doing now is on another level.''

Stephen Curry scored 23 points but committed eight turnovers and D'Angelo Russell added 20 points in his Golden State debut, but the Warriors got beat up the way they used to do it against the entire NBA - even giving up a 46-point third quarter.

What a dud for the Dubs as they formally opened new Chase Center in San Francisco after 47 years at Oracle Arena in Oakland.

Patrick Patterson scored 20 points and Ivica Zubac had 16 points, 10 rebounds and two blocked shots for Los Angeles.

In a rematch of the hard-fought first-round playoff series last season won by the Warriors in six games on their way to a fifth straight finals, the Clippers jumped to a 14-0 lead making 5 of their first 6 shots. Golden State started 0 for 6 and missed four 3s. Russell's jumper at 8:23 gave Golden State its first points and he scored the Warriors' initial seven before Curry hit a 3 at 6:42.

The Warriors got a scare when they briefly lost Draymond Green at the 9:03 mark of the opening quarter after he appeared to injure his right elbow on a screen. Green returned to the court at the start of the second and wound up with 11 points.

Curry, who at 31 is the oldest Warriors player, was 2 of 11 on 3s as new-look Golden State went 15 for 42 from deep. Kevin Durant is long gone and so are several other key veterans part of the recent Warriors championship runs.

Golden State coach Steve Kerr is embracing the move and new arena - he's still figuring his way around the building - but noted ''I'll miss everything about Oracle. It's a great place to play.''

Some fans left after the third quarter with the home team trailing 111-87.

There will be plenty more lumps along the way for this young group, with Kerr noting, ''This is not a one off.''

''This is more the reality of the NBA. The last five years we've been living in a world that isn't supposed to exist,'' Kerr said.

Leonard and Patrick Beverley were booed during pregame introductions for the Clippers, who beat the Lakers 112-102 in their opener Tuesday with Leonard scoring 30 points on 10-for-19 shooting.

TIP-INS

Clippers: Los Angeles shot 56.8% in the first half (21 of 37), making 6 of 11 3s. ... The Clippers were outrebounded 23-20 in the first half and 42-39 overall. ... G Rodney McGruder missed his second straight game with a high right ankle sprain. ... The Clippers scored 58 points in the paint.

Warriors: Golden State called a late timeout when it had none remaining, resulting in a technical foul. ... Kevon Looney started at center for the Warriors after working back from a strained right hamstring then dealt with right hamstring tightness in the second half and didn't return as a precautionary move. The hope had been he would play about 20 minutes with four stretches of five minutes or so, Kerr said. ... Kerr challenged a foul call on Looney late in the first half and the call was upheld. ... The Warriors had won the last three at home against the Clippers.

NICE TOUCHES

Newly enshrined Hall of Famer Al Attles, who will be 83 next month, took part in a ceremonial tipoff just before the ball actually went up. Attles joined the organization in 1960 and played in the Philadelphia Warriors in Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game on March 2, 1962.

Injured Splash Brother Klay Thompson, who could miss the entire season recovering from surgery for a torn ACL in his left knee, spoke to the fans at midcourt before the game. He also shared a hug and a few words with Leonard.

Construction workers who built Chase Center held the flag for the national anthem.

LOCKED OUT

Kerr joked he might need to wear his key card around his neck even on game nights.

''I've been locked out of my office a couple times after games, true story,'' he said. ''... We're slowly but surely figuring those things out.''

QUOTEABLE

Rivers hardly considers Curry past his prime beginning his 11th NBA season.

''I want him to get older. I'm all for the 40 Steph, I can't wait for that one,'' Rivers quipped. ''He'll still be playing because he can shoot. He just won't be as agile I don't think. He's been around a long time. It's amazing when you think about it how quickly it goes.''

UP NEXT

Clippers: At Suns on Saturday having won the last 12 meetings overall and six straight in Phoenix.

Warriors: At Thunder on Sunday having won 11 straight road games in the regular season and two in a row at Oklahoma City.
