Magic ran over the Hawks in the end; Dyson Daniels with 7/12/7. A neutral +/- of 0 in a 25 point loss at least.
Half-time in the other game of the day. Golden State came back from an early deficit to lead by 20ish but have relinquished some of that now. 55-67, Warriors' way.
Tomorrow's games are both decent match-ups:
Heat @ Bulls
Mavs @ Kings

This Memphis vs Golden State game is only the 4th or 5th NBA game I've watched this season, really enjoyable, and Steph is going ballistic

Slightly miserable finish with poor ref calls and then a five-second violation by Memphis. Warriors would've wanted to have put that away comfortably. Grizzlies did well to make it a contest.

Giddey balling but looks like it's the end of the road for the Bulls

Chicago looked a slim chance in the third quarter but then fizzled and could barely buy a bucket. Herro just too good. Heat 109-90.
Giddey had 25/10/4 for the Bulls, but missed several shots towards the end to finish 9/21 FG. Solid contract offer incoming, you'd think.

Mavs comfortable winners over the Kings. Exum with 11/3/6 on flawless shooting.

Isaac, but is Giddey really someone NBA teams feel comfortable spending massive money on? I am not saying he doesn't or won't deserve it, but I do have concerns with his capacity to lead a team.
I think Giddey is an awkward player in that he has a limited skill set, is not on the same level as say someone like Luka, and also might be reduced to a passive player if teamed up with other stars on potentially similar money. I just don't see how Giddey really elevates a team to winning in that case or how he fits with other players. I am not saying he gets meaningless stats because he clearly doesn't, but I feel like there are limitations to what he can do if offered massive money with the expecations that his productivity will eventually elevate a team, or fit in with another star or two.
Please don't get me wrong, Giddey is a serious talent, and I am not being negative for the sake of it, I just think he is sort of caught in between a little bit...

Chicago would be fools to let him go, but as a hornets fan I'd be very comfortable with us overpaying to bring him to Charlotte
