Stephen Curry and Chris Paul of the Golden State Warriors were given rest in a preseason game, as announced by the team. The Warriors' decision to rest their star players was made in preparation for the upcoming regular season. The rest allowed other players like Zach Collins and Malaki Branham to shine, with Collins recording 18 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists in the first half, and Branham contributing 10 points and 5 rebounds. The Warriors also provided an update on Draymond Green's ankle injury, stating that he has been cleared for light workouts and will be re-evaluated on Sunday, two days before the season-opener against the Phoenix Suns.

Celtics lead, 91-83, with 4:01 left in the third. Credit to the Knicks. Seemed like this would be a blowout as long as the Celtics' starters were in, but it isn't.
Thunder 59, Bucks 54 H | Josh Giddey 12 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists; SGA 7, 5, 3; Jalen Williams 10 points; Giannis Antetokounmpo with 10 and 7 for Milwaukee, but his dunk at the buzzer is waved off after review.
After 1Q: Celtics 41, Knicks 30. Celtics had 13 points with 6:51 left and scored 28 in the final 5 minutes, 9 seconds. That's pretty efficient.
