The German NBA brothers Moritz and Franz Wagner from the Orlando Magic have won again. Meanwhile, Lakers star LeBron James is still on course for a record in the NBA.
The German basketball brothers Moritz (25) and Franz Wagner (21) continue to ride the wave of success with the Orlando Magic in the NBA. Two days after the first surprise success at the same place (117:109), the team also won against runner-up Boston Celtics on Sunday with 95:92 (50:41).
The talented Magic recorded six straight wins for the first time since 2019 after losing nine straight games. Both Wagner brothers were on the starting grid and put in solid performances.

DBB captain Dennis Schröder (29) celebrated a 119:117 win with the Los Angeles Lakers against the Washington Wizards. The Braunschweiger scored twelve points, two rebounds and seven assists. Lakers superstar LeBron James (37) had 33 points.

LeBron James in the LA Lakers vs. Washington Wizards game on December 18, 2022.
Thanks to the 33 points, LeBron James has moved a little closer to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (75), who leads the list with the most NBA points with an incredible 38,387 points.
If the 37-year-old superstar from Los Angeles can keep his points average from this season, the record would probably fall in January or February 2023. After Sunday’s performance against the Washington Wizards, the point guard is just 732 points short of the Holy Grail of the NBA world. (sid, book)
