Basketball: NBA: “Giant” Schröder is expanding a winning streak with Detroit

Germany’s basketball world champion Dennis Schröder has led his Detroit Piston in the North American professional league NBA to the sixth victory in a row. The captain of the German national team contributed 16 points and seven assists to the Atlanta Hawks on 148: 143. With five points in the final minute, Schröder finally brought the pistons to the winning road.

“Dennis won us the game today,” said All-Star Cade Cunningham his partner in the game structure: “He is smart and can do something with the ball. He was just huge for us.” With 38 points and 12 templates, Cunningham was once more successful in the pistons, whose winning streak started with the transfer from Schröder to Detroit. The team from the “Motor City” had last succeeded in six victories in the 2014/15 season.

Franz Wagner celebrates Kanters victory

Schröder’s world champion colleague Franz Wagner meanwhile celebrated a safe Kanter victory against Washington Wizards with the Orlando Magic. Wagner led Orlando with 23 points at 110: 90 against the league. In contrast to the break -in against the Memphis Grizzlies two days ago (104: 105), the Magic were able to claim their big lead against Washington in the second half.

“It wasn’t always nice, but this time we held against it in the crucial moments,” said Orlando’s coach Jamahl Mosley. The German Rookie Tristan Da Silva received two fouls early on and therefore only got a little time. He reaches three points in a good six minutes. Orlando is seventh of the Eastern Conference – a place behind the pistons.

Hartenstein remains the measure of things with Oklahoma

Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder with Center Isaiah Hartenstein remains the measure of things. The German collected twelve points, nine rebounds and five templates at the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Minnesota Timberwolves. The best man in the 46th victory of the Thunder was Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with 37 points.
