In the duel between the two leaders from the Western and Eastern Conference, the Suns asserted themselves 111:90 and left no doubt in Miami that they want the title this time after second place last season. “We know what we’re working for,” said Devin Booker after his comeback after a four-game break because he was on the NBA’s Corona list. With 23 points, he was immediately the best pitcher of the game.
The loss of the Heat pushed the Milwaukee Bucks a little closer to first place in the Eastern Conference. The defending champion won at home against the Atlanta Hawks 124:115 and was once again able to rely on the extra class of Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek had 43 points, 12 rebounds and five assists.
Victories for Theis, Schröder and the Wagner brothers
Daniel Theis recorded a 115:101 with the Boston Celtics against the Charlotte Hornets. The Celtics underlined their own play-off ambitions this season and benefited from another strong performance from Jayson Tatum, who had 44 points.
Dennis Schröder and the Houston Rockets won 139:130 at home against the Los Angeles Lakers after extra time and contributed twelve points from the bench to the win against his struggling ex-team. For the team around superstar LeBron James it was the sixth defeat in the past seven games.
Berlin’s Franz and Moritz Wagner won with the Orlando Magic 108:102 against the New Orleans Pelicans. Franz Wagner had 15 points, Moritz Wagner had nine points. The Dallas Mavericks lost 77-107 to the New York Knicks. Luka Doncic’s 31 points were not enough, national player Maxi Kleber had two points.
