A full wrap-ups of the thre opening night games. San Antonio destroys Golden State--what can we take away from these games for the rest of the season? In a fantastic game, (19:30) Portland and Damian Lillard hold off Utah. How did Dame put up his 39 points, and what makes Portland so hard to guard in general? Then (32:00), we look at how Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah looked in their first games for the Knicks, and where New York needs to improve--while the Cavs keep rolling off last year's championship.
