Berlin (SID) – Led by Franz Wagner, the Orlando Magic secured victory in the North American professional basketball league NBA at the last minute. The Florida team won 94-90 against the Golden State Warriors, who again had to do without their star Stephen Curry due to injury.
Wagner sealed the Warriors’ defeat with three free throws and a dunk in the final seconds of the game. Overall, the 20-year-old had 18 points and three assists in around 30 minutes of play, while his older brother Moritz contributed seven points, four rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes.
“It feels good,” said Wagner after the success. “It’s a mental thing”, he tries to “always stay as calm as possible”. “Franz can play, man,” said Wagner’s teammate Cole Anthony. He had “seen it first hand today”.
Meanwhile, superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo (25 points, 17 rebounds) led the Milwaukee Bucks to a 126-98 win over the Chicago Bulls after a short injury break. The Bucks are second in the Eastern Conference. Antetokounmpo missed the 119-138 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves with a knee problem.
