After three defeats, the Warriors win again in the NBA – thanks to Stephen Curry. In a duel between two German players, the world champion leaves the field as the winner.
Led by Steph Curry, the Golden State Warriors have had three defeats in the last three years NBA won again and got the first win since the indefinite ban for Draymond Green. Against the Brooklyn Nets, Curry scored twelve points in a row in the final quarter and had a total of 37 points for the Warriors at 124:120.
Klay Thompson also played a big role with 24 points. Green, who like Curry and Thompson has been one of the team’s most important basketball players for years, was thrown off the court last week after hitting his opponent in the face and was banned indefinitely by the NBA.
Theis wins against Hartenstein
In a duel between two German professionals, world champion Daniel Theis and the Los Angeles Clippers prevailed against the New York Knicks around Isaiah Hartenstein. The 144:122 was the seventh win in a row for the Clippers. Theis had seven points in 15 minutes, Hartenstein played 30 minutes for the Knicks and had twelve points and a strong ten rebounds and three blocks.
Maxi Kleber, on the other hand, missed the Dallas Mavericks’ next game because of the consequences of his dislocated little toe. Luka Doncic was man of the game in the 131:120 win against the Portland Trail Blazers and recorded a triple double for the 61st time in his career. He had 40 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.
Joel Embiid also had outstanding stats in the Philadelphia 76ers’ 145:82 win against the Charlotte Hornets. Embiid scored 42 points and grabbed 15 rebounds in the Hornets’ worst loss in NBA history.
