Basketball: Wagner brothers with 35 points in the Orlando Magic home win
The Orlando Magic around the Berlin brothers Franz and Moritz Wagner have won a home win in the US basketball league NBA. There was a 122:112 against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday evening (local time), Franz Wagner had a good 20 points and six assists. Moritz Wagner, who was not used recently, played almost 14 minutes and scored 15 points during this time.
The Magic still have small hopes of making the play-ins, which will award the final two playoff tickets of the Eastern Conference. With only nine remaining main round games, the team can no longer afford to lose.

Philipp Grubauer was also dropped from the matchday squad and was not on the ice in the Seattle Kraken’s 5-4 overtime win against the Dallas Stars.
