While Franz Wagner clinched the second win in a row with the Orlando Magic, the Miami Heat won the top game against the Chicago Bulls. Meanwhile, Ja Morant set a new career high.

The Miami Heat underpinned their ambitions this season with a clear win in the NBA’s top game. The Eastern Conference leaders clinched a 112-99 home win over the Chicago Bulls at home against second-placed Chicago Bulls on Monday night (February 28, 2022), increasing their lead.

The fourth win for the Heat in a row was also the second loss in a row for the Bulls. Zach LaVine (26) was the best pitcher of the game with 22 points, but couldn’t prevent his Bulls from going bankrupt. In the pursuit, defending champion Milwaukee Bucks scored 130-106 against the Charlotte Hornets. The Bucks are fourth ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers, who lost their home game to the Minnesota Timberwolves 122-127.

Of the teams still hoping for a spot in the playoffs, only the Toronto Raptors won, aside from the Western Conference Timberwolves. The Canadians won 133:97 against the Brooklyn Nets, who continue to have difficulties without their stars and also had to do without coach Steve Nash (48), who was briefly on the Corona list of the NBA stand.

NBA: Orlando Magic wins with Franz Wagner – Yes Morant with best value

The Orlando Magic around Berlin’s Franz and Moritz Wagner (24) have no prospects of making the playoffs. The bottom of the Eastern Conference recorded the second win in a row with the 119:103 against the Indiana Pacers and was happy about the first game of Markelle Fultz (23) after his cruciate ligament rupture more than a year ago. Franz Wagner (20) ended the game with 15 points, two rebounds and three assists. His brother Moritz was absent with a rib injury.

In the Memphis Grizzlies’ 118:105, Ja Morant (22) set a career high with 52 points. The surprise team moved closer to the Golden State Warriors, who are second in the Western Conference behind the Phoenix Suns. (dpa/mn)
