New York then dominated Milwaukee 117-85 at Madison Square Garden, winning the rebound battle 59-32 while adding 17 threes and 26 assists.

Golden State joined in, crushing New Orleans 138-87 at Chase Center on the strength of 21 threes, 50 rebounds and 37 assists. Curry and Podziemski shared top-scoring honours with 25 points each.

The individual chase is just as lively. Dončić sits top of the early MVP conversation at 40.1 points per game, while Wembanyama keeps answering with defence — 40 points, 11 rebounds and 8 blocks in San Antonio's 122-96 win over Phoenix.
