With the Spurs' decisive victory, the Clippers' heavy defeat, and the Trail Blazers narrowly losing to the Timberwolves, the NBA Western Conference rankings have been updated.

On October 23rd Beijing time, the NBA season officially began, and today was the second day of competition, wrapping up multiple fierce contests. Notably, three major Western Conference games drew attention: the Spurs dominated the Mavericks 125-92, the Clippers were soundly defeated by the Jazz 108-129, and the Timberwolves narrowly beat the Trail Blazers 118-114. Consequently, the Western rankings have been updated!

Spurs vs. Mavericks. This game was essentially a battle of top picks, with the Spurs featuring the number one pick, Victor Wembanyama, while the Mavericks boasted two top picks, Anthony Davis and Flagler. The first quarter was evenly matched between the teams. However, starting from the second quarter, under Wembanyama’s explosive scoring, the Spurs scored over 30 points in each of the three quarters and outscored the Mavericks by more than 10 points each quarter. Ultimately, five Spurs players scored in double digits, overwhelming the Mavericks. Wembanyama exploded for 40 points, showing clear improvement in strength and physicality!

Clippers vs. Jazz. The Jazz started this game with an incredible performance, spreading the scoring efficiently across multiple players. They posted a staggering 43-19 score in the first quarter, building a lead of over 20 points right away and effectively deciding the game early. The margin remained around 20 points throughout the rest of the match, with no Clippers player stepping up. The Clippers’ heavy loss to the Jazz was truly shocking!

Timberwolves vs. Trail Blazers. Chinese player Han-Sen Yang made his NBA debut in this game but had limited bench minutes, playing only 5 minutes with a modest contribution of 2 points and 1 rebound. Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers maintained a slight lead on the court. Yang did not return in the second half, and the Trail Blazers suddenly collapsed in the final quarter, allowing the Timberwolves to outscore them 30-19. Ultimately, the Trail Blazers lost after being completely overturned, squandering a promising position!
