40 points from Luka Doncic were not enough for the Dallas Mavericks to win against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Texans lost 114-120 after overtime and conceded their second defeat in a row after a very good phase before. Maxi Kleber finished with ten points and eight rebounds.
The Orlando Magic, meanwhile, rallied from 17 points down to win 119-118 against the Indiana Pacers. Franz Wagner – named one of the NBA’s most promising talents on Tuesday – scored 17 points and was one of five professionals on his team to reach double figures. Brother Moritz Wagner finished the evening with eight points in just under nine minutes and a strong shooting percentage of 80 percent.
Dennis Schröder, who contributed only six points in 16 minutes to the Boston Celtics’ third win in a row, still does not seem to be in form. However, the player from Braunschweig is still suffering from problems with his Achilles tendon. The Celtics lost 113-107 against the Charlotte Hornets, with Hornets pro LaMelo Ball scoring a personal best 38 points.
