The Minnesota Timberwolves managed to secure a 114-110 victory over the Indiana Pacers despite Anthony Edwards playing only three minutes due to a hamstring issue. Edwards, who was the top pick in the 2020
NBA Draft, had scored 72 points in the first two games of the season. Julius Randle stepped up with 31 points and six assists, while Rudy Gobert contributed 14 points and 18 rebounds.
The Pacers, who were missing several key players including Bennedict Mathurin, fell to 0-3 for the season. Pascal Siakam's impressive performance with 33 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, and three steals wasn't enough to lead Indiana to victory. Obi Toppin also left the game with a hamstring injury during the third quarter.

Meanwhile, Austin Reaves delivered an outstanding performance for the Los Angeles Lakers by scoring a career-high 51 points in their 127-120 win against the Sacramento Kings. With Luka Doncic sidelined due to injuries, Reaves took on a larger role. He shot efficiently from both inside and outside the arc and added significant contributions in rebounds and assists.
Doncic is expected to be out for at least a week after sustaining injuries early in the season. He had been performing exceptionally well alongside LeBron James, who is also out until mid-November due to sciatica. Reaves has averaged impressive numbers across various categories in Los Angeles' first three games.

Victor Wembanyama continued his strong start for San Antonio Spurs as they defeated Brooklyn Nets 118-107. The top pick from the 2023 NBA Draft filled up the stat sheet with an all-around performance. His efforts have helped San Antonio start their season with three consecutive wins for the first time since the 2019-20 season.
Wembanyama's Impactful Play
Despite being limited last season due to health issues, Wembanyama is averaging impressive numbers this year. Rookie Dylan Harper also made significant contributions off the bench for San Antonio. Cam Thomas led Brooklyn with 40 points but lacked sufficient support from teammates as they dropped to an early-season losing streak.

In another matchup, Miami Heat handed New York Knicks their first loss of the season with a score of 115-107. Norman Powell led Miami's charge with an impressive stat line while Bam Adebayo provided solid support on both ends of the court. The Knicks were aiming for their best start since the early part of last decade but fell short despite Jalen Brunson's strong individual effort.
