NBA season heating up

Lots of action this second day of the NBA season. Bucks rookie Yi Jianlian showed some promise of what he can become scoring 9 on 4 of 5 shooting, but fouled out in a loss to Orlando 102-83. Rashad Lewis topbilled for the Magic with 26 points, missing only 4 shots. Gilbert Arenas led the Wizards with 34 points, playing for the 1st time since having an injury at the end of last season, but his team still fell to the Pacers in OT, 110-119. Antoine Wright might have his future with the Nets uncertain at the end of the season, but he came through big time in his opening game with a career high 21 points, leading the Nets to a 112-103 victory over the Bull. The Spurs came back in the final period to beat the Grizzlies 104-101 and win for the 2nd straight night. Lebron James and the Cavaliers didn't look like last season's runner-up when they got blown out by the Mavericks 92-74. And Kevin Durant's pro-debut was spoiled by Carmelo Anthony's Nuggets as they were routed 120-103. Durant had 18 points, but Carmelo finished with 32 to top the game.
