The Milwaukee Bucks are still unstoppable in the North American professional basketball league NBA. In the top game against the Boston Celtics, the team around superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo clinched their eleventh win in a row on Wednesday night (February 15, 2023).
At 131:125 (64:63) the Celtics needed an extension this time, but again they didn’t let themselves be deterred from their path to success. The Bucks remain hot on the heels of leaders Boston in the Eastern Conference with just one win fewer.
40 points from Jrue Holiday
The Celtics made it into overtime with a three in the final seconds of the fourth quarter, where Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday were unstoppable. With a 7-0 run in the last 25 seconds, the duo decided the game in favor of the Bucks. Holiday scored 40 points overall, while Antetokounmpo just missed a triple-double with 36 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists.
Phoenix wins top game in the west
The Phoenix Suns defeated the Sacramento Kings 120-109 (62-58) in the top game of the Western Conference. With 32 points, Devin Booker was the top scorer in third place in the Western Conference. Superstar Kevin Durant, who swapped players from the Brooklyn Nets to Phoenix a few days ago, only watched the game from the sidelines due to an injury.
Defeat for the Wagner brothers
The German brothers Franz and Moritz Wagner had to admit defeat to the Toronto Raptors with the Orlando Magic away with 113:123 (70:75). After the last three away wins in a row, the Magic lost again in a foreign hall. The guests allowed the Raptors too high a throw rate from the field. Both Franz (nine points) and Moritz Wagner (two points) fell short of their potential.
