Orlando continues its NBA winning streak, and the Mavericks also win clearly. Dennis Schröder has bad luck with the Brookyn Nets.
The Orlando Magic are fourth in the East and well on their way to the NBA playoffs. The team led by German national basketball players Franz and Moritz Wagner won against the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday (March 21, 2024 / local time) with 121:106.
Orlando’s fifth straight win in the North American professional league means they will finish the regular season on a positive note for the second time in twelve years. Moritz Wagner contributed 14 points, brother Franz had 18 points.
Mavericks advance
The game day was also successful for the Dallas Mavericks. The team around Luka Doncic and Maximilian Kleber beat the Utah Jazz 113:97 and moved up to sixth place in the West with their seventh win from the last eight games.
Kleber recorded seven points, two rebounds, two assists and three steals in just under 17 minutes of playing time.
Hartenstein strong in Knicks defeat
Despite a strong Isaiah Hartenstein, the New York Knicks had to admit defeat to champions Denver Nuggets 100:113. Hartenstein put up 20 points as a starter – with eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal.
Despite the loss, the Knicks remain in a direct playoff position in the West.
Schröder with missed throws
The Brooklyn Nets around world champion Dennis Schröder are far from that. The New Yorkers lost to the Milwaukee Bucks 108:115. Although Schröder recorded nine assists, he only managed five points in nine attempts.
