It's the night before Halloween, and the NBA had a good-sized slate of games. Among the big winners were the Cleveland Cavaliers, picking up their first win of the season. The Thunder also grabbed another win, while Toronto bounced back after suffering their first loss of the season. Below are the five stars of the night.
Buddy Hield - Sacramento Kings
The Kings are 5-3 right now, can anyone believe it? The Kings and their fans are believers, thanks to performances from players like Buddy Hield. He scored 25 points to go with 11 boards and three assists, in a 107-99 win over Orlando.
That's my shooting guard.
