The German NBA professionals were able to score victories in the NBA on Sunday night. The duel of the superstars was clearly decided in favour of Kyrie Irving.
Maximilian Kleber and the Dallas Mavericks are still on course for the playoffs in the North American professional basketball league NBA. The Texans won 132:105 against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday (local time). Kleber, who was part of the starting line-up, contributed 15 points and 14 rebounds. The best scorer was Mavericks star Luka Doncic with 30 points. Dallas is in fifth place in the NBA’s Western Conference, with the top six teams qualifying directly for the play-off round of 16.
Schröder with little contribution in Boston win
Dennis Schröder was also happy about his team’s victory, but he only had a small part in it. In the Boston Celtics’ 107-97 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, Schröder scored four points and grabbed one rebound in just under 16 minutes of play. Despite the win, the record-breaking Boston Celtics still have to fight for a play-off spot in the Eastern Conference.
Miami loses – Irving wins scoring duel against Curry, but loses with Nets
The Miami Heat are all but assured of this one as the best team in the East in terms of wins, although the Florida team lost 120-124 at home to the Toronto Raptors. Despite an outstanding performance by Jimmy Butler, who achieved a so-called triple-double with 37 points, 14 rebounds and ten assists, Miami conceded their 18th defeat of the season.
In the clash between superstars Kyrie Irving and Stephen Curry, Curry and his Golden State Warriors beat Irving’s Brooklyn Nets 110-106. Curry himself was clearly overshadowed by his opponent. The 33-year-old scored 19 points on a poor 27.8 percent shooting percentage from the field. Irving scored 32 points for the Nets. He is only available to the New York team for away games because he has not been vaccinated against the corona virus.
