The Bulls are third in the Eastern Conference behind the Brooklyn Nets and the Miami Heat but were without Zach LaVine, Lonzo Ball, Javonte Green and Alex Caruso. DeMar DeRozan was the best shooter of the game with 41 points and in the meantime fought a war of words with Moritz Wagner.
“He was angry and that was it”
“He’s not scared. He gets under other players’ skin and he’s not scared of what’s going to happen. It changes the momentum,” said Magic coach Jamahl Mosley. Wagner himself did not want to comment on the scene and only said: “I fouled someone and he was angry and that was it. The scene is completely irrelevant to me. Stuff happens.”
Important victory for the Boston Celtics
While Dennis Schröder put in an unremarkable performance with seven points and five assists, the outstanding Jayson Tatum led the Boston Celtics to an important win in the fight for the playoffs. Tatum scored 51 points – 48 in the first three quarters – in the 116-87 against the Washington Wizards. Prior to the game, the Celtics All-Star (eighth in the East) had not hit any of his 17 three-pointer attempts, this time sinking nine three-pointers.
Mavericks with further success
Maxi Kleber and the Dallas Mavericks get rolling. With a 104:91 against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Texans got their eleventh win from the past 13 games. The outstanding player was Luka Doncic with 37 points, eleven rebounds and nine assists. Kleber got seven points.
