Two world champions play a big role in their team’s victory against an NBA title contender. For national team captain Dennis Schröder, however, the evening doesn’t go that way.
World champions Franz and Moritz Wagner led the Orlando Magic to a clear NBA victory against the Milwaukee Bucks around their star Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Berlin brothers scored 24 and 19 points at 112:97. Franz Wagner also had six rebounds and three assists, his older brother Moritz had four rebounds and one assist. The 19 points for him were also his season best.
For the Magic it was their fifth win in their ninth game of the season. Despite Antetokounmpo’s 35 points, the championship candidate from Milwaukee was only ahead in the first quarter and otherwise constantly trailed the convincing hosts.
The evening went less well for national team captain Dennis Schröder. With the Toronto Raptors he lost 94:117 to his former team Boston Celtics. After two recent wins against the San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks, the Raptors couldn’t get going at all in Boston and were consistently behind in the last three quarters. Schröder had 14 points and 4 assists, the best scorer was Jaylen Brown with 29 points for the Celtics.
