Ball badly injured
71 points! The historic Lillard show in video
The Wagner brothers hardly appear when their Orlando Magic triumphs. Hornets star LaMelo Ball seriously injured. Celtic star Tatum causes a stir with a curious action.
The Wagner brothers Moritz and Franz and their NBA team, the Orlando Magic, have achieved an important victory in the fight against the threat of missing the playoffs.
In the 101:93 win against the New Orleans Pelicans, tenth in the Western Conference table, small forward Franz Wagner was in the starting lineup and scored eleven points and five rebounds in 36 minutes on the plate.
His brother Moritz hit the basket 14 times in 13 minutes less playing time.
Celtics give up the lead – concerns about LaMelo Ball
Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics lost their top spot in the Eastern Conference.
Symbol of the 94:109 defeat against the New York Knicks was Celtic star Jayson Tatum, who made the CR7 move and disappeared into the dressing room before the final whistle.
The Charlotte Hornets’ 117-106 win over the Detroit Pistons was overshadowed by Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball’s injury, who fractured his ankle in the third quarter.
Jimmy Butler was the outstanding man in his Miami Heats’ nail-biting 101-99 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. The highlight of his 23 goals was a reverse layup in the final minutes.
After Damian Lillard’s 71-point record, it was a manageable NBA night overall.
