The record champions from Boston defeated them Philadelphia 76ers with 110: 106 and decided the series clearly 4: 0 for themselves. Center Theis achieved his best yield after the corona break with 15 points, plus four rebounds.
Opponents in the round of the top eight teams will either be the Toronto Raptors or the Brooklyn Nets. After three games, Toronto leads 3-0. Philadelphias Tobias Harris caused a moment of shock when his head hit the parquet. Harris injured his left eye but was able to continue playing after a break.
Doncic leads Mavericks to victory
The Dallas Mavericks around national player Maxi Kleber still have to work. Thanks to an outstanding performance by Luka Doncic, the former team of basketball legend Dirk Nowitzki defeated the Los Angeles Clippers in an intense fourth match in extra time 135: 133 and thus equalized to 2: 2. After the next record performance, the US media and commentators were full of praise for the young Slovenian.
With a sunk three in the final second, Doncic decided the match and came up with a total of 43 points, 17 rebounds and 13 assists. “When I hit the litter and the whole team ran to me, that was one of the best feelings ever”said Nowitzki’s 21-year-old successor: “I just tried to make it. I can’t describe the emotions.” In the meantime, Dallas was 21 points behind.
Dallas without Porzingis
Doncic, himself injured with an ankle injury from the previous encounter, had to do without his partner Kristaps Porzingis in the fourth game against the title candidate from Los Angeles. The Latvian couldn’t play when he was beaten. All the more impressive was Doncic’s performance, which also demanded great respect from NBA competitors such as LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Dwayne Wade or Clippers star Kawhi Leonard: “He had a triple-double tonight. He hits the winner’s basket. He plays great basketball.”
