As expected, Jimmy Butler was the subject of a scandal choir during its introduction to the Target Center.
Timberwolves supporters continued to booed Butler every time he touched the ball in the first quarter, until he stole a pass and fed Taj Gibson for a dunk. The crowd immediately roared, as if the fans had forgotten who they were angry because the room was so fast.
The quadruple All-Star had a lot more dunks and flights from there. Soon, "MVP! MVP! MVP!" the songs burst while the Wolves launched 52-23 in the second quarter.
Butler, who had asked for an exchange in Minnesota exactly one month ago, finished with a record of 33 points, seven rebounds and three assists, in the Wolves' 131-123 victory over the Cavaliers.
Jerebko pulls at redemption
Less than three months after being eliminated by the Jazz, Jonas Jerebko gave the advantage to his former team with a time remaining of 0.3 seconds to bring the Warriors to a tie. 124-123 victory over the Jazz.
After a closer look, it appears that Rudy Gobert played a key role in the decision.

Pelicans pushing the pace
Anthony Davis and Nikola Mirotic combined for 61 points and the Pelicans scored their highest points total in a franchise history match with a 149-129 victory over the Kings. New Orleans has improved to 2-0 for the first time since the 2011-12 season and became the first team since Phoenix (3/16/10) to score 149 points in terms of regulations.
New Orleans becomes just the fifth team in #NBA It's been a history of scoring at least 270 points in the first two games of the season, joining Boston (62-63), San Francisco (62-63) and San Antonio (78-79, 90-91). #DoItBig

How much did a night score goals in the NBA? There were nine games and 16 teams scored 100 points. Of these 16 teams, 10 have eclipsed 117.
Raptors fans already chant "MVP". for Kawhi
Kawhi Leonard had 31 points and 10 rebounds, and the Raptors moved away from the Celtics 113-101 in an early duel pitting the contenders at the Eastern Conference.
Leonard played so well that he managed to get some songs from the Raptors' most useful player on the free throw line very early.

Leonard said that he enjoyed the feeling, if not the timing.
"It's a little too early," he says. "I appreciate the support, I know that they are excited about the fact that we are winning the game tonight."
Who is he playing for?
Garrett Temple averaged 5.6 points in eight seasons with the Rockets, Kings, Spurs, Bucks, Hornets and Wizards. So maybe we can forgive Charles Barkley for not knowing the current Temple team.
One night after being featured at the NBA's Inside annual television show, Temple scored 30 points while Memphis overtook Atlanta's 131-117.
Temple, resumed in an exchange in July with the Sacramento Kings, only missed one of his 11 shots, making it 5 out of 6 in the 3-point range. You can bet the Hawks know who Temple is playing for.
Tonight @BassProShops ? game going to …

Stat of the night
Giannis Antetokounmpo joins Kevin Garnett (2004-05) as the only player in NBA history to have scored at least 25 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists in each of the first two games of the season.
Trampoline free dunk of the night
The Bucks named Fiserv Forum with a convincing 118-101 win over the Pacers. Surprisingly, the night dunk was not this controversial game of Antetokounmpo.
Give up the Rim Rockers. It is not every day that you see a 360 ° windmill jam, double clutch and between legs. Now it's entertainment!
