Boston – The Dallas Mavericks slowed down the Boston Celtics and beat them 95-92 away. Led by Luka Doncic with 26 points, the Mavericks ended a run of five wins for the Celtics.
National basketball player Maxi Kleber had no points, but had his share of the success with 13 rebounds. Daniel Theis was not used by the Celtics, who took Kevin Garnett’s jersey number five under the roof of the hall after the defeat and will no longer be awarded in the future.
Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic around the Berlin brothers Franz and Moritz Wagner just barely missed a surprise against the title contenders Philadelphia 76ers. At 114:116, the Florida team forced an overtime and had a chance of winning until the last throw. Joel Embiid had most of the game with 35 points for the 76ers, Moritz Wagner had ten points for Orlando and his brother Franz had six points.
Dennis Schröder missed the Houston Rockets in the 105:130 against the New Orleans Pelicans because of an unspecified illness. Isaiah Hartenstein recorded a good twelve points as a substitute in the 106:102 of the Los Angeles Clippers against the Detroit Pistons.
