Command Analysis
Seems like some new signings will seriously aid Portland's improvement. There were some concerns about the Blazers' start, but Chauncey Billups' men secured a confident victory in the first match. Trail Blazers took an away win over Sacramento (115:108).
Jerami Grant became the best offensive player for the Blazers in that match, scoring 23 points. Former player of the Detroit Pistons might have a chance to rival Damian Lillard for the role of team's leader.
In the previous match Phoenix had to face a much stronger opponent. Suns managed to beat the Mavericks, but it wasn't easy for Monty Williams' men (107:105).
Devin Booker put up a great performance for the Arizona team. Mavericks' defense had no chance to stop Booker. Devin tallied 28 points, four rebounds and nine assists.
