Bulgarian star in NBA Alexander Vezenkov played one of his best games since arriving in the National Basketball Association. Sasha finished with 11 points off the bench in the Sacramento Kings' 132-120 home win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the regular season opener.
Vezenkov had a strong shooting day after not spending much time on the court in the last few games of the "Kings", and in one of the games he was left out of the rotation of Mike Brown, for whom it was success number 400 of his coaching career. Vezenkov played over 17 minutes, finishing 4-of-6 from the field and 3-of-5 from three. The Bulgarian also added 2 rebounds to his stats, which also included a personal foul.
Otherwise, Californians won thanks to guard De'Aron Fox, who returned from injury, who was the most productive with 28 points. Keegan Murray added 25, and Domantas Sabonis was a hair away from another triple-double - 23 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists. Kevin Huerter (20) and Malik Monk (13) also topped the 10-point mark.
For the Cavs, Donovan Mitchell was one of seven players on the team with double-digit points, leading everyone with 22 points. Caris LaVert added 21, Max Struss recorded 19, and Evan Mobley had a double-double - 16 points and 12 rebounds, but their efforts were insufficient.
Sacramento's third straight win in the league moved the team to sixth place in the Western Conference with a 5-4 record. Cleveland is 11th in the East with four wins and six losses. /BGNES
