The 12-game slate on 2026-10-28 produced sharp contrasts across Euroleague and NBA play: four Euroleague games were decided by an average margin shaped heavily by Hapoel Tel-Aviv’s 118-88 win over Anadolu Efes, while the NBA portion featured three teams reaching at least 129 points.
Hapoel Tel-Aviv and the Toronto Raptors authored the widest wins of the night, each by 30 points. Portland Trail Blazers delivered the highest single-team total, scoring 136 in a seven-point road win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Euroleague: Hapoel Tel-Aviv Separates the Night
Hapoel Tel-Aviv 118, Anadolu Efes 88
Hapoel Tel-Aviv’s 118-88 win over Anadolu Efes stood apart from the rest of the Euroleague slate by both volume and margin. The 118 points were the highest total by any Euroleague team on the night, and the 30-point gap was the largest in the competition’s four games.
The result also created a clear scoring outlier. No other Euroleague team reached 100 points, and Hapoel Tel-Aviv finished 27 points above the next-highest Euroleague total, Zalgiris Kaunas’ 91.
Zalgiris Kaunas 91, Virtus Bologna 74
Zalgiris Kaunas produced the second-largest Euroleague margin with a 91-74 road win at Virtus Bologna. The 17-point result was built on the night’s second-highest Euroleague scoring total and the only other double-digit Euroleague victory besides Hapoel Tel-Aviv’s.
Virtus Bologna’s 74 points were one fewer than Partizan Mozzart Bet’s 75 and one more than Besiktas’ 73, placing the home side in the lower scoring tier of the Euroleague games.
Olympiacos 81, Besiktas 73
Olympiacos won 81-73 at Besiktas, one of two Euroleague road wins on the night. The eight-point margin reflected a more controlled scoring environment than the Hapoel Tel-Aviv and Zalgiris Kaunas games, with neither team reaching the mid-80s.
Besiktas’ 73 points were the lowest Euroleague total of the night, while Olympiacos’ 81 were enough to secure the road result without matching the offensive output of Hapoel Tel-Aviv, Zalgiris Kaunas or Lyon-Villeurbanne.
Lyon-Villeurbanne 82, Partizan Mozzart Bet 75
Lyon-Villeurbanne defeated Partizan Mozzart Bet 82-75 in the closest Euroleague game of the night. The seven-point margin was the narrowest among the four Euroleague matchups.
Partizan Mozzart Bet finished with 75 points, a total that kept the game within reach but left it short of Lyon-Villeurbanne’s 82, the third-highest winning score in the Euroleague slate.
NBA: Portland Wins the Highest-Scoring Game
Portland Trail Blazers 136, Los Angeles Lakers 129
Portland Trail Blazers’ 136-129 road win over the Los Angeles Lakers was the highest-scoring game of the night, with the teams combining for 265 points. Portland’s 136 points were the top single-team mark across all 12 games.
The Lakers scored 129 and still lost, matching the Toronto Raptors’ winning total and Miami Heat’s winning total while finishing on the wrong side of the night’s fastest scoreboard. The seven-point margin was the narrowest NBA result of the slate.
Toronto Raptors 129, Orlando Magic 99
Toronto Raptors beat Orlando Magic 129-99, producing the largest NBA margin of the night at 30 points. The Raptors’ 129 points tied Miami Heat for the second-highest NBA winning total and matched the Lakers’ losing score in Los Angeles.
Orlando Magic’s 99 points made the game one of only two NBA contests in which a team failed to reach 100, alongside Charlotte Hornets’ 89 in Detroit.
San Antonio Spurs 130, Sacramento Kings 103
San Antonio Spurs defeated Sacramento Kings 130-103, pairing the NBA’s second-highest winning margin with one of the night’s four 130-point performances across all leagues. The 27-point margin trailed only Toronto Raptors’ 30-point win among NBA games.
Sacramento Kings reached 103, but the Spurs’ 130 created a gap larger than every NBA result except Toronto’s win over Orlando.
Miami Heat 129, Atlanta Hawks 117
Miami Heat won 129-117 at Atlanta Hawks, giving the NBA slate another road team with a 129-point output. The Heat’s 12-point margin came in a game where both teams cleared 117 points.
Atlanta Hawks’ 117 points were the highest losing total outside of the Lakers’ 129, underscoring how much scoring pressure Miami created on the road.
Cleveland Cavaliers 121, Washington Wizards 111
Cleveland Cavaliers beat Washington Wizards 121-111 in a 10-point home win. Cleveland’s 121 points placed it behind Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs, Toronto Raptors, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers among NBA scoring totals on the night.
Washington Wizards reached 111, but the Cavaliers created enough separation to join New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons among home teams that won by double digits or near double digits.
Philadelphia 76ers 114, Indiana Pacers 109
Philadelphia 76ers won 114-109 at Indiana Pacers in the closest NBA game after Portland’s seven-point win over the Lakers. The five-point margin was the smallest of the 12 games overall.
Indiana Pacers’ 109 points were enough to keep the game tight, but Philadelphia’s 114 gave the road team one of four NBA away wins on the night.
New York Knicks 111, Detroit Pistons 97
New York Knicks defeated Detroit Pistons 111-97, holding Detroit below 100 in the first of the Pistons’ two appearances on the slate. The 14-point margin matched a clean home result in a game that stayed well below the scoring level of the Lakers-Blazers, Spurs-Kings and Raptors-Magic matchups.
Detroit’s 97 points in New York were followed by another 97-point output at home against Charlotte Hornets, producing identical scoring totals in two different outcomes.
Detroit Pistons 97, Charlotte Hornets 89
Detroit Pistons responded with a 97-89 home win over Charlotte Hornets. The Pistons scored the same 97 points they had in the loss to New York Knicks, but the defensive context changed the result against Charlotte.
Charlotte Hornets’ 89 points were the lowest NBA total of the night and the only NBA score below 97. The game’s 186 combined points were the lowest total among the eight NBA matchups.
Nightly Through Line
The night was defined by extremes: Hapoel Tel-Aviv and Toronto Raptors each won by 30, Portland Trail Blazers reached 136, and Detroit Pistons split two games while scoring 97 in both. Across the NBA games, road teams delivered several of the most explosive offensive results, with Portland, Miami and Philadelphia all winning away from home.
In Euroleague, the separation was sharper between the top offense and the rest of the field. Hapoel Tel-Aviv’s 118 points created the clear headline result, while Olympiacos, Lyon-Villeurbanne and Zalgiris Kaunas each won with totals between 81 and 91.
