The Dallas Mavericks around national basketball player Maxi Kleber have won again after two defeats in the NBA.
Kleber scored eight points in the 121:114 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The best pitcher was Luka Doncic with 38 points, who was still missing in the defeat against the Chicago Bulls. New signing Kemba Walker, who made his debut for the Mavericks against Chicago, was not used. Mavericks fans will have to wait for the first game played by the two point guards Walker and Doncic.
With 14 wins and 13 losses, the Mavericks improved their table situation in the Western Conference a little and moved closer to the direct playoff spots.
In the Eastern Conference, the Brooklyn Nets confirmed their status as the team of the hour. The 112:100 against the Washington Wizards was the eighth win from the past nine games for the team around stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. In the east, the Nets are fourth.
