The Los Angeles Lakers are continuing to make progress in the NBA, and the Dallas Mavericks also have reason to be happy again.
The Los Angeles Lakers continue to make progress in the NBA. Led by the two basketball stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Californians won 104:99 at the New Orleans Pelicans and thus achieved their fifth win in a row. The Lakers moved up to fourth place in the Western Conference.
James scored 21 points, including two important three-pointers in the final phase, as well as seven rebounds and five assists. This time, however, the 39-year-old was unable to achieve a triple-double, as he did four times in a row. Davis was almost unstoppable with 31 points and 14 rebounds. As in the previous two games, world champion Daniel Theis did not play for the Pelicans.
“I live for these moments,” said LeBron James, describing his emotions after the decisive three-pointer after the game. The superstar is happy to be “still good enough for the important throws at this point in my career.”
Maximilian Kleber won again with the Dallas Mavericks after four defeats in a row. In the 110:93 win against the San Antonio Spurs, Würzburg had two points and four rebounds as a starter.
The best throwers for the Mavs were Kyrie Irving (22) and Luka Doncic (16). The Spurs had to do without super talent Victor Wembanyama, the Frenchman was out with a knee injury.
