With another outstanding performance, basketball world champion Franz Wagner led the Orlando Magic to their eighth win in a row in the NBA.
The 22-year-old Berliner scored 31 points in the 139:120 win against the Washington Wizards. His older brother Moritz Wagner also played a big part in the success of the team from Florida, which now has the longest winning streak in the league, with eleven points and many good scenes. After seven wins, the Phoenix Suns lost 105:112 against the Toronto Raptors led by world champion captain Dennis Schröder and can no longer keep up.
«We have fun together. “It just works better when everyone touches the ball,” said Franz Wagner after the convincing game in Orlando. Eleven of the twelve players used had at least one assist, and the Magic collected 28 assists in total. The joy and chemistry between the basketball players infected the spectators in the Amway Center, who could celebrate a record if they beat the Wizards again on Friday: no Orlando Magic team has ever won more than nine wins in a row.
Victory for Schröder and the Raptors
The Raptors are a long way from a similar winning streak this season with a total of nine successes, but they impressed against the Suns, who have recently been in such strong form, despite the difficult conditions. The team had only returned to Toronto early in the morning from the away game against the Brooklyn Nets the evening before. “This is a group of people who don’t give up. “You have great pride for this city and this team,” said coach Darko Rajakovi?. Schröder only hit three of his eleven shot attempts in the game, but he hit the decisive basket to make it 110:105 with 24.4 seconds left and skillfully assisted his teammates with twelve assists.
