NBA summary of October 5, 2021: Julius Randle stands out; Bucks-Grizzlies game interrupted

Julius Randle shone with 20 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, as did RJ Barrett with 17 points.

Newcomer Kemba Walker, for his part, contributed 12 points in 21 minutes of play on his debut with the team. He had a 5 for 10 efficiency on shots, but still had a positive impact.

An uncompleted game between the Bucks and the Grizzlies

The game between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Memphis Grizzlies was put on hold late in the third quarter after the fire alarm went off for no apparent good reason.

Play did not resume, as the Grizzlies were leading 87-77 at that time against the defending champions.

The Bucks were deprived of many players tonight, including their star player Giannis Antetokoumpo due to pain in his left knee.

In his absence, it was Jordan Nwora who collected the most points from his team, with 16.

Ja Morant has accumulated 27 points for the « winners »

The Cavaliers get run over by the Bulls

The Chicago Bulls dominated the Cleveland Cavaliers 131-95.

The Cavs missed 13 of their first 14 shots, but after a brief burst of energy late in the first quarter, this rebuilding team was no longer in the game afterwards, causing too many turnovers with a porous defense. Furthermore.

Evan Mobley, third overall pick in the last draft, finished the game with 10 points and 8 rebounds. He collected his first point only in the second quarter.

In the other clan, Zach LaVine amassed 25 points.
