Bucks Beat Nets - In their first game of their title defense, the Milwaukee Bucks wasted no time getting started. They'd easily notch a 127-104 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Ring Night at Fiserv Forum.
This one would start off with the same exact energy we saw from the Fiserv Forum crowd all summer long, pure electricity. It especially came with 7:14 left in the quarter, as a Giannis Antetokounmpo fastbreak slam dunk put everyone into an absolute frenzy. The Greek Freak would explode for 13 points in the opening stanza, going a nifty 5-of-12 from the floor. It'd help push the Bucks to a 37-25 lead after one. Click below to read more:

Warriors Beat Lakers - The Los Angeles Lakers might still have some figuring out to do. Despite big nights from stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Lakers blew a double-digit lead in a season-opening 121-114 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. James (34 points on 13-of-23 shooting, 11 rebounds, five assists) and Davis (33 points on 15-of-26 shooting, 11 rebounds two assists) looked very much themselves on the court, but it wasn't a good night for those hoping the Lakers' revamped supporting cast would make them an NBA titan again.
