Toronto – Just two days after the clear 87: 113 opening defeat at the Atlanta Hawks, Maximilian Kleber and the Dallas Mavericks have reported back in the North American professional basketball league NBA.
The Würzburger made the German duel against Isaac Bonga from the Toronto Raptors with the Texans away and won with 103: 95. The decisive factor was an increase in performance after the break, because after the first two quarters the Raptors were still ahead (51:45). Kleber put five points on in just over 20 minutes and Bonga was left without anything countable in just under three and a half minutes. This means that both teams have one victory each, although the Canadians have already lost twice.
Much like the Mavericks, the master Milwaukee Bucks showed a reaction to the recent 95:137 bust at the Miami Heat. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s team prevailed 121: 111 at the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Clippers and Isaiah Hartenstein lost 114: 120 to the Memphis Grizzlies. The German center came up with eleven points and four rebounds.
