Thanks to another strong performance from basketball world champion Franz Wagner, the Orlando Magic celebrate their second win in a row in the NBA. Brother Moritz and rookie Tristan da Silva also play big. Superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is causing a stir.
The national basketball players Franz and Moritz Wagner achieved their next clear victory with the Orlando Magic in the NBA. Led by top scorer Franz Wagner with 23 points, the team from the US state of Florida won 121:94 against the Washington Wizards. In the second success in a row, Moritz Wagner also impressed with 16 points, while rookie Tristan da Silva scored eleven points. For the Magic it was the fifth win of the season in the eleventh game, with this record Orlando is in fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
Meanwhile, superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo played the main role in his Milwaukee Bucks’ 107:113 defeat of defending champion Boston Celtics. His 43 points couldn’t prevent the defeat – the fact that the Greek only acted as if he wanted to help his opponent Jaylen Brown up after a foul caused a stir. “Giannis is a child,” Brown scoffed at the scene when Antetokounmpo withdrew his initially outstretched hand as Brown reached for it to stand up. Rookie Ariel Hukporti did not play in the New York Knicks’ 121:132 defeat at the Indiana Pacers
A 43-point gala wasn’t enough for the Dallas Mavericks to win either. Without Maximilian Kleber, who is still injured, the Texans lost 120:122 to the Denver Nuggets. For Dallas, preseason NBA finalist, Kyrie Irving stood out with 43 points. The Slovenian superstar Luka Dončić scored 24 points, but showed unusual weaknesses when throwing. The Nuggets were once again able to rely on Nikola Jokić. The three-time MVP contributed a triple-double with 37 points, 18 rebounds and 15 assists.
