The Orlando Magic won against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA pre-season, carried by two world champions. Dillon Brooks was penalized.
Strong early form after the end of the summer of the world champions: Franz and Moritz Wagner led the Orlando Magic to a 108-105 victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers in preparation for the new season.
The younger had 18 points in 18 minutes, Moritz came off the bench and then scored 14 points in 16 minutes. The two Berliners only missed one shot from the field each.
“We feel very good, we are progressing and we are applying what we talk about in training. I even think there was visible progress compared to the first game,” Franz Wagner said, reflecting on the 122-105 victory against New Orleans. “I feel good, it’s a pleasure to play with the guys again. But it’s also a completely different game from what I played last summer, so I’m also getting used to it again.”
Orlando will begin the new season on the night of October 26 with a home game against the Houston Rockets.
Sanction against Brooks
For hitting world champion Daniel Theis in the ribs during a test match, Dillon Brooks will have to pay a fine of 25,000 US dollars (around 23,700 euros). This decision was communicated Thursday by the NBA. The Canadian from Memphis, bronze medalist at the world championships, was excluded from the field in the first quarter for this scene during Tuesday’s match between his Houston Rockets and the Indiana Pacers (122-103).
