Unfortunately, the banner that got raised was just a blank white one. (Probably because I'm using non-default logos/team designs. Slightly disappointing.)
Jokic was great on debut, but I was most impressed with Marcus Smart. Even though he only scored 2 points, he did dish out 12 assists and had 7 steals and a block.
