In the east, the Brooklyn Nets remain in the lead, the Nets defeated Minnesota Timberwolves with 110: 105, thanks to another outstanding Kevin Durant (30 points).

Defeats for Kleber and Wagner brothers

Franz and Moritz Wagner lost with Orlando Magic at the Houston Rockets with just 116: 118. Franz Wagner got 17 points as well as five rebounds and assists, his brother Moritz scored five points from the bench. The Rockets, in which national player Daniel Theis did not play, are currently the most successful team in the league with five wins in a row, after the Texans only won one of the first 17 games at the start of the season.

The Dallas Mavericks received a surprising home defeat against the New Orleans Pelicans. At 91: 107 Maxi Kleber, who started for the ailing Kristaps Porzingis, was still one of the best players of the disappointing Mavs with 13 points and 9 rebounds.

Portland fires GM Oshley after allegations of bullying

The Portland Trail Blazers have fired their general manager, Neil Olshey. This was preceded by investigations into alleged workplace bullying.

Olshey had to go “because of violations of the organization’s code of conduct,” the club said. They are now “confident that these changes will help create a more positive and respectful work environment”. In the interim, Joe Cronin will work as GM.

The Oregonian, The Athletic and Yahoo Sports reported alleged misconduct by Olshey in November. There should have been bullying, intimidation and ranting. Following the revelations, the Trail Blazers hired the O’Melveny & Myers law firm.
