The NBA had a few games to offer on the night from Sunday to Monday. From a German perspective, there was reason to be happy. The overview.
Miami Heat at Indiana Pacers 115:117
The Miami Heat narrowly lost a thriller in the NBA (live on ProSieben MAXX, ran.de in the ran app and on Joyn) against the Pacers; their comeback in the fourth quarter came too late. Jimmy Butler scored 27 points for the team from Florida, making him the top scorer, and he also had eight rebounds and seven assists.
For the Pacers, Myles Turner delivered 22 points and 13 rebounds. TJ McConnell was also strong, coming off the bench and contributing 22 points. With their second win in a row, the Pacers remain in sixth place in the West, while Miami is in eighth place.
Chicago Bulls at Orlando Magic 98:113
The Wagner brothers Franz and Moritz were able to celebrate a 113:98 victory against the Chicago Bulls that was never in danger. The Magic laid the foundation for this in the first quarter, which they won with a difference of +17 points.
Franz Wagner contributed with 16 points, four rebounds and three assists. Bitter: He had to leave the game in the third quarter due to an ankle injury. Brother Moritz came off the bench and put up eight points and four rebounds. At Chicago, DeMar DeRozan was the best scorer with 30 points, but could not prevent the defeat.

New York Knicks at Milwaukee Bucks 122:109
In the fight for the direct playoff ticket, the Knicks achieved an important success against the struggling Bucks, who lost their fourth game in a row. 28 points, eight assists and 15 rebounds from superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo couldn’t change that.
Isaiah Hartenstein was in the starting five for New York, got 29 minutes on the floor and had 18 points and ten rebounds. His team’s best thrower was Jalen Brunson with a whopping 43 points. Milwaukee remains in second place in the West, New York is two places behind.
Portland Trail Blazers at Boston Celtics 107:124
Unsurprisingly, Boston, the leader in the West, prevailed against the Trail Blazers, who only occupy 14th place in the East. Jaylen Brown was Celtic’s top scorer with 26 points, and the playoffs have long since been taken away from them.
At Portland, DeAndre Ayton (22 points, eight rebounds) and Dalano Banton (28 points, nine assists) fought against the defeat, but were unable to prevent it.
Oklahoma City Thunder at Charlotte Hornets 121:118
Josh Giddey laid the foundation for the Thunder’s narrow away win at the Hornets with his eleventh triple double of his career. In addition to 20 points, the 21-year-old also had 13 assists and rebounds.
For the Hornets, who are only in 13th place in the East, Grant Williams was the top scorer with 19 points. Vasilije Micic also achieved a double double (17 points, ten assists).
Washington Wizards at Toronto Raptors 122:130
The Raptors win the crisis duel and beat the Wizards at home with 130:122.
Immanuel Quickley had 31 points and 13 assists for Toronto, while Deni Avdija played great for Washington (32 points, ten rebounds).
New Orleans Pelicans at Phoenix Suns 113:105
CJ McCollum and Zion Williamson led the Pelicans to important success against the Suns. McCollum recorded 31 points, Williamson 29.
The two Pelicans stars were only surpassed in terms of scoring by Bradley Beal. The 30-year-old scored 33 points for the Suns.
Philadelphia 76ers at San Antonio Spurs 133:126
Tyrese Maxey really delivered and even put Victor Wembanyama in the shade. The 76er scored a personal career-high 52 points and led his team to an overtime victory in San Antonio.
But “Wemby” also showed his class, was Spurs’ best scorer with 33 points and secured 18 rebounds. With its fifth win in a row, Philadelphia continues to stay in touch with the direct playoff places.
Sacramento Kings at Brooklyn Nets 107:77
Bitter bankruptcy for the Brooklyn Nets and Dennis Schröder. The German world champion, who only managed four points, seven rebounds and six assists against Sacramento, lost 77:107.
The Kings, for whom Domantas Sabonis recorded 18 points as well as 20 (!) rebounds, are still playing for a direct playoff spot.
Utah Jazz at Golden State Warriors 110:118
With 41 points in the first quarter, the Warriors laid the foundation for success over Utah. The Jazz came close again in the fourth quarter, but Kly Thompson and Co. took the lead over time.
The 34-year-old was also his team’s best scorer with 32 points. For the Jazz, Johnny Juzang came off the bench and scored 27 points.
Minnesota Timberwolves at Los Angeles Lakers 127:117
Without LeBron James and Anthony Davis, who was eliminated early due to an eye injury, the Lakers had to swallow a defeat against the Timberwolves.
Naz Reid scored 31 points and grabbed eleven rebounds for Minnesota. Rui Hachimura was the most successful for the Lakers with 30 points.
