The national team captain played well. But he didn’t convert an extremely important throw.
Basketball world champion Dennis Schröder kept his Brooklyn Nets strong in the NBA against the top team Cleveland Cavaliers, but ultimately suffered their sixth defeat in the tenth game of the season.
Brooklyn lost to the Cavs 100:105, although Schröder and Co. were still 13 points ahead at the start of the last quarter.
Schröder was his team’s second-best scorer with 22 points, and the Braunschweiger also had five assists and two rebounds. With the score at 100:103 with 30 seconds left in the game, the guard failed to make a three-pointer, but in return Cleveland made everything clear from the free throw line.
The outstanding player for the Cavaliers, who also won their eleventh game of the season and are therefore league leaders, was Evan Mobley with 23 points and 16 rebounds.
