The Los Angeles Clippers opened their season with a mission, routing the Sacramento Kings one hundred twenty one to ninety six in a performance dedicated to banned owner Steve Ballmer. The team sent a clear message that despite the off-court turbulence surrounding their organization, this group intends to compete and stay unified.
Speaking of opening statements, Toronto made one of the loudest in recent memory, dismantling the Chicago Bulls by forty three points in their season opener. Two of the Raptors' biggest stars showed up in a massive way, and if that performance is any indication of what this team is capable of, the Eastern Conference has a serious problem on its hands.
Then there's Walker Kessler, who walked into his Lakers debut and immediately etched his name into franchise history alongside Wilt Chamberlain, matching a fifty six year old record during a win over Golden State. Luka Doncic and company looked sharp, and Kessler's arrival in Los Angeles suddenly feels like a very big deal for a team with championship ambitions.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
