Oklahoma City Thunder became the first team this season to reach the 10-win mark, continuing their impressive start despite injuries to Jalen Williams and minor knocks among other key players. The defending Western contenders once again proved their depth and resilience.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continued his incredible scoring streak, dropping 35 points against the Memphis Grizzlies. On the defensive end, the Thunder managed to limit Ja Morant to just 11 points — one of his quietest performances of the year.

In the East, the Detroit Pistons pulled off an important road victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, catching the Sixers on the second night of a back-to-back with Joel Embiid resting. Cade Cunningham may have lost his individual scoring duel with Tyrese Maxey (26–33), but he came out on top in playmaking, delivering 11 assists to Maxey’s 7. The win pushed Detroit to an 8–2 record, solidifying their position atop the Eastern Conference standings.

Elsewhere, Giannis Antetokounmpo couldn’t carry the Milwaukee Bucks alone against the Houston Rockets, as the Bucks fell 115–122 despite Giannis’ dominant 37-point performance. Kevin Durant responded in kind with 31 points, keeping the night’s highlight reel full of superstar moments.
