Oklahoma City (dpa) - Basketball player Dennis Schröder has led Oklahoma City Thunder to third consecutive victory. In the North American professional league NBA, the 26-year-old scored 30 points in his 109: 103 win against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
He underlined his current strong form, he has always scored at least 20 points in the past eight games. He came from the bank seven times.
In the final minute, Schröder became the match winner with six points. "He plays at a very high level and really does a good job for us," said his coach Billy Donovan. OKC is in the Western Conference with 31 wins and 20 losses on a playoff course.
The Dallas Mavericks, with whom Würzburg Maximilian Kleber is under contract, come to the same result after 51 games after the 107: 121 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Once again, the Texans had to do without young star Luka Doncic. Seth Curry, JJ Barea and Dwight Powell were also missing. The staff was even thinner when Kristaps Porzingis, who was the best Dallas shooter with 32 points, had to leave the field at times. Despite the suspicion of a broken nose, the Latvian returned. But he couldn't avert bankruptcy. Kleber put on ten points and six rebounds in just under 32 minutes.
Daniel Theis had to miss the Boston Celtics' 116-100 win against Orlando Magic. The center from Salzgitter had knocked over after a block in the game at the Atlanta Hawks. The champion Toronto Raptors also took the twelfth win in a row, setting a franchise record.
