With Dennis Schröder, the Detroit Pistons also win the seventh game one after the other in a supporting role in the NBA. Isaiah Hartenstein has to get off the field with a narrow defeat of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
With the Pistons, the piston is now sixth in the Eastern Conference and clearly on playoff course.
In the 106: 97 against the Los Angeles Clippers, the captain of the German German Basketball team came to seven points, two rebounds and four assists in just under 20 minutes. The top scorer of the game was Detroits Cade Cunningham with 32 points.
Oklahoma played out clear leadership
Isaiah Hartenstein received a painful defeat with Oklahoma City Thunder. The top team of the Western Conference had to give up the Minnesota Timberwolves with 128: 131 after extra time – Oklahoma still gave a clear lead.
Hartenstein’s team was still in the fourth quarter with 24 points, but the guests fought their way up step by step and saved themselves into the extension. There the Timberwolves had the better end.
Hartenstein with bruises on the face
The German Hartenstein had to go off the field in the second quarter and was no longer used. Trainer Mark Daignult called “bruises on the face” as a reason. Hartenstein had scored four points until his injury -related from and got five rebounds. Oklahomas Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the most successful thrower of the game with 39 points.
In the table, the Denver Nuggets approached Oklahoma a little closer – although top star Nikola Jokic did not tower over this time. Denver won a 125:116 at the Indiana Pacers, Jokic scored 18 points and was therefore, exceptionally, the nuggets, which was not the best thrower. Aaron Gordon, who collected 25 points, was more successful.
