Also thanks to basketball international Moritz Wagner’s best performance of the season, the Orlando Magic turned a big deficit in the NBA and won against the Los Angeles Clippers.
At 116:111 after extra time, the team from Florida was already 18 points behind yesterday evening (local time).
Wagner had 20 points for the first time this season and also contributed 13 rebounds. His younger brother Franz Wagner scored 15 points, and the best Magic thrower was Paolo Banchero with 23 points. It was the twelfth defeat of the season for the Clippers, who are on course for the playoffs with stars Paul George and Kawhi Leonard.
City rivals Los Angeles Lakers also lost. In the 113:126 against the Toronto Raptors, the NBA record champion started with a weak replacement and had to do without LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Patrick Beverly. National team captain Dennis Schröder was the most successful pitcher for the Lakers with 18 points, who were never in the lead during the game and were 27 points behind at times.
