The Orlando Magic, featuring the Wagner brothers from Germany, are striving to close the gap in the Eastern Conference of the NBA. Despite having won their previous two games, they suffered a 111-128 loss against the Boston Celtics at the TD Garden. Franz Wagner contributed 17 points for Orlando, while Moritz managed only two. The Celtics, who are yet to lose at home this season, secured their 13th victory at their own arena. In their upcoming match, Orlando will aim to turn the tables against Boston once more.
Interestingly, the USA does not have a representative in the top two positions of the Eastern Conference, with Boston and Milwaukee leading the pack. Following this, it seems that the balance of power in NBA basketball might shift towards international teams, as demonstrated by the Wagner brothers.
Meanwhile, Moritz Wagner's Canadian teammate RJ Barrett's New York Knicks suffered a defeat against the Philadelphia 76ers in an Eastern Conference contest. The Knicks now find themselves languishing near the bottom of the standings, raising questions about their chances of making a strong run in the rest of the season.
The tension between the two Eastern Conference powerhouses didn't go unnoticed, with analysts predicting a fierce battle between the Orlando Magic and the Boston Celtics in the near future. With the NBA's playoffs approaching, every win becomes increasingly crucial, especially for teams aiming to secure a coveted spot in the post-season.
