The basketball world champions Franz and Moritz Wagner won the German duel with national team captain Dennis Schröder in the NBA.
The two brothers and the Orlando Magic defeated Schröder’s Brooklyn Nets 108:81. Franz Wagner impressed as his team’s best thrower with 21 points, followed by Moritz Wagner with 16 points. Schröder scored 15 points on the opposing side.
Important win for Orlando Magic
“It was an important game for us, considering how the last two games against them went,” said Franz Wagner, referring to the previous defeats against Brooklyn: “I was very happy with how focused everyone was throughout the whole game were.” Orlando is still in the race for a direct playoff spot in seventh place in the Eastern Conference. Brooklyn is in eleventh place.
Defeat for Kleber and the Mavericks
However, there were setbacks for two other German NBA professionals. Isaiah Hartenstein lost with the New York Knicks to the New Orleans Pelicans 92:115 and was not used at all. Maxi Kleber, on the other hand, was on the pitch when Max Strus scored with a throw from his own half for the Cleveland Cavaliers and perfected the Mavs’ 119:121 defeat with the clock running out.
The Mavs had previously taken the lead with just 2.9 seconds left on the clock. Luka Doncic’s 45 points in a Dallas jersey one day before his 25th birthday were ultimately not enough.
