NBA - Wagner brothers successful with Orlando
The Orlando Magic, led by the two basketball world champions Franz and Moritz Wagner, have apparently overcome their minor slump in the North American professional league NBA.
Orlando won 104:94 at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers and celebrated its second successive victory after two defeats in a row.
A total of 27 Wagner points
Franz Wagner scored 19 points and grabbed eight rebounds, but did not have a good day from the three-point line. Not a single ball landed in the basket on five attempts. Brother Moritz scored eight points in 18 minutes of play. With their 16th win of the season, the Magic caught up with record champions Boston Celtics at the top of the Eastern Conference, although the Celtics have suffered two fewer defeats so far.
The season is still not going according to plan for national team captain Dennis Schröder and the Toronto Raptors. The Canadians lost 130:136 at the New York Knicks with Isaiah Hartenstein and, with nine wins this season, would currently only be spectators in the play-offs. The Knicks, on the other hand, are clearly on course for the finals with 13 wins and only nine defeats.
Schröder put in a good performance, scoring 20 points and dishing out ten assists. Hartenstein scored eleven points for the Knicks.
Clippers on the upswing with Theis
The Los Angeles Clippers with Daniel Theis, on the other hand, are still on the upswing. The Clippers won their home game against the Portland Trail Blazers 132:127 and celebrated their fourth win in a row. However, Theis only played a supporting role, the 31-year-old played 14 minutes and contributed three points.
Once again without the injured Maximilian Kleber, the Dallas Mavericks celebrated their next success. Luka Doncic was once again the outstanding man for the Texans in their 120:113 away win against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Slovenian scored 35 points, but was not the game's best scorer. Jaren Jackson Jr. stood out for Memphis with 41 points.
Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs set a negative record with super talent Victor Wembanyama. The Texans conceded their 17th defeat in a row with an 82:93 loss at the Houston Rockets, a streak never before seen in the team's history. The Spurs' three-point percentage in particular was indisputable, with only five of 41 attempts landing in the basket.
