Led by superstar LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers fought back to win the city derby against the Los Angeles Clippers led by basketball world champion Daniel Theis.
After trailing by 21 points at the start of the final quarter, the NBA record champions took the lead with 190 seconds to go and ultimately won 116:112. James was the best man on the pitch with 34 points. The Lakers overran the Clippers with a 34-8 run in the final minutes.
Theis was in the starting lineup and got into the game well with two baskets, but couldn’t prevent the Lakers’ defensive comeback with his teammates Kawhi Leonard and James Harden. The basketball player from Salzgitter ended up recording nine points and five rebounds.
Maxi Kleber from Würzburg had previously missed the Dallas Mavericks’ 136:125 win against the Toronto Raptors due to a broken nose. The Minnesota Timberwolves took the lead in the Western Conference with a 110:101 win against the Memphis Grizzlies.
