British starter OG Anunoby stood out at Madison Square Garden on Friday, delivering a game-high 31 points with seven three-pointers to lead the New York Knicks<\/a> to a massive 136-96 victory over the Chicago Bulls<\/a>. The blowout win featured a diverse European bench effort, featuring Poland\u2019s Jeremy Sochan with seven points, France\u2019s Mohamed Diawara and Germany\u2019s Ariel Hukporti with six points each, and France\u2019s Pacome Dadiet adding five. The visitors struggled as Lithuanian starter Matas Buzelis managed 11 points and French starter Guerschon Yabusele contributed five, while France\u2019s Noa Essengue remained out due to season-ending shoulder surgery.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the 2025-26 NBA Regular Season, Tristan da Silva and Franz Wagner combined for 37 points at American Airlines Center to help the Orlando Magic<\/a> overcome a 51-point masterpiece by Cooper Flagg and defeat the Dallas Mavericks<\/a> 138-127. Da Silva led the German contingent with 19 points off the bench, while starting Wagner added 18 in his second game back from injury<\/a>, supported by two points from Georgia\u2019s Goga Bitadze. France\u2019s Noah Penda remained scoreless while Germany\u2019s Moritz Wagner did not play. The Mavs<\/a> saw Greek John Poulakidas held without a point.<\/p>\n

Turkish starting center Alperen Sengun pushed the Houston Rockets<\/a> to their fifth consecutive win, recording 19 points and five assists in a 140-106 dismantling of the Utah Jazz<\/a> at Toyota Center. Swiss veteran Clint Capela chipped in two points, two blocks, and four rebounds. The visitors played without Finnish star Lauri Markkanen and Bosnian Jusuf Nurkic due to injuries, with Ukrainian Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk remaining on the bench.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

French starter Maxime Raynaud continued his stellar season at Golden 1 Center, shooting 11\/14 from the field for 28 points to lead the Sacramento Kings<\/a> past the New Orleans Pelicans<\/a> 117-113. Fellow Frenchman Killian Hayes added five points, with Lithuanian star Domantas Sabonis remaining sidelined. The Pels were missing Croatian Karlo Matkovic for a second straight game due to back spasms.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Spanish head coach Jordi Fernandez saw his Brooklyn Nets<\/a> fall 141-107 to the Atlanta Hawks<\/a> at Barclays Center after Israeli Danny Wolf formally joined Russian Egor Demin on the season-ending injury list. However, French starter Nolan Traore put up 13 points and Israeli Ben Saraf added two in a lopsided loss. France\u2019s Zaccharie Risacher got two points on the winning side.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Serbian play-caller Darko Rajakovic guided the Toronto Raptors<\/a> to a 128-96 win over the Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> at FedExForum, getting ten points from Georgia\u2019s Sandro Mamukelashvili and eight from Austrian starter Jakob Poeltl. On the wrong end, Finnish coach Tuomas Iisalo saw Frenchmen Rayan Rupert and Adama Bal combine for six points while Spanish forward Santi Aldama remained sidelined.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

At Xfinity Mobile Arena, the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> 115-103 as Turkish reserve Adem Bona contributed two points. The Wolves<\/a>\u2019 European starters went from Italy\u2019s Donte DiVincenzo with 11 points to France\u2019s Rudy Gobert with 16 rebounds to go with his five points, though French backup Joan Beringer did not play.<\/p>\n

Finally, the Charlotte Hornets<\/a> beat the Indiana Pacers<\/a> 129-108 at Spectrum Center despite the absence of injured French starter Moussa Diabate. While the visitors lacked sidelined Croatian Ivica Zubac, the hosts kept French Tidjane Salaun and British Tosan Evbuomwan with the G League\u2019s Greensboro Swarm.<\/p>\n
