The German basketball professional Isaiah Hartenstein is close to entering the second playoff round of the North American NBA league with the New York Knicks.
The Knicks beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 102-93 at home on Sunday and now lead the series 3-1. The team from New York only needs one more success to progress to the top eight teams.
Jalen Brunson was the hosts’ top scorer with 29 points at Madion Square Garden, while RJ Barrett contributed 26 points to the win. Hartenstein only got one point in a good 20 minutes, but he got eight rebounds, blocked two throws, gave two assists and won two balls. The fifth game in the series takes place in Cleveland on Thursday night.
