National basketball player Moritz Wagner has been playing in the NBA since last year, but he has never been as good at winning the Minnesota Timberwolves: Born in Berlin, his Washington Washington Wizards 137: 116 record his strongest performance in the world's top basketball league and posted personal best NBA scores with his 30 points and 15 rebounds.
"I was trying to do my job and got rolling," said the 22-year-old banker who had been on the record for 25 minutes, "Of course I'm happy about this game." In particular, his throws from a distance worked without problems: All four threesome attempts landed in the basket. According to television broadcaster ESPN, Wagner is the first banker to record statistics, scoring 30 points and 15 rebounds with 85% accuracy.
Since starters were first recorded in 1970-71, Moritz Wagner is the first player with 30 points and 15 rebounds while shooting 85% from the bench in a game.

Washington coach Scoot Brooks said Wagner's game was "fantastic." Superstar Bradley Beal praised his team-mate, "His energy is mine as well, it's always about taking his chance when you get it, and Moe did just that today." Beal was Washington's most successful bowler this evening with 44 points.
In addition to Wagner, who joined the Wizards in the summer after his first NBA season at the Los Angeles Lakers, his compatriot Isaac Bonga also contributed three points to the guest victory.
