Franz Wagner was once again a mainstay in the Magic’s success. The younger Wagner brother scored 19 points and contributed five assists, while Moritz Wagner came off the bench with eight points and four rebounds. Orlando made the victory in the game open until the end perfect with a strong defensive performance in the final quarter; in the last part of the game, the Wagners and Co. only allowed 18 points.
Daniel Theis also had reason to celebrate. The center won a 136:125 mandatory win with the Los Angeles Clippers against the Detroit Pistons. Theis, who came off the bench as usual, contributed five points and three rebounds. The match winner was superstar Kawhi Leonard with a strong 33 points.
Dennis Schröder, however, had to cope with the next setback: the Toronto Raptors, the captain of the German national team, clearly lost to the Houston Rockets 106:135. Point guard Schröder, who lost his place in the starting lineup over the course of the season, collected eight points. Toronto is already four wins behind tenth place in the East, which is enough to qualify for the play-in tournament.
Shooting star Victor Wembanyama also suffered a bitter defeat. The young Frenchman and his San Antonio Spurs received the decisive basket from Zion Williamson (33 points) four seconds before the end in the 113:114 win against the New Orleans Pelicans. Wembanyama showed another good performance with 16 points, 14 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks.
