Without the injured German national player Maximilian Kleber, the Dallas Mavericks have stopped their decline in the North American professional basketball league NBA.
After four losses in a row, the Texans won at the Indiana Pacers with 127:104. The Mavs’ best pitcher was top star Luka Doncic with 25 points. Kleber missed the guest appearance in Indianapolis due to a hamstring injury. Despite the win, Dallas remains 11th in the Western Conference and needs support to make the playoffs.
The New York Knicks around the German national player Isaiah Hartenstein are looking much better. The Knicks celebrated a clear 137:115 home win against the Houston Rockets and are in fifth place in the Eastern Conference, which would entitle them to a direct participation in the finals. Hartenstein had about 24 minutes from the bench and contributed eight points, six rebounds and six assists to the win. The outstanding Knicks player was Immanuel Quickley with a career high of 40 points.
