Dusseldorf While most Europeans are asleep, the North American professional leagues are busy. What happened that night in American football, basketball and ice hockey. Today among other things: A corona penalty and a record victory.
Basketball: Memphis Grizzlies celebrate highest victory in NBA history
The Memphis Grizzlies made NBA history. The team from the US state of Tennessee prevailed on Thursday evening (local time) with 152: 79 (72:36) against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 73-point success is synonymous with the highest victory in the 75-year history of the North American professional league. The previous record was held by the Cleveland Cavaliers, who recorded a 68-point success (148: 80) against the Miami Heat in December 1991.
Nine of Memphis’ twelve players scored double-digit points, Jaren Jackson Jr. became the top scorer with 27 points.
The Phoenix Suns have set a new club record. With a 114: 103 (69:51) home win against the Detroit Pistons, the Arizona team achieved their 18th consecutive win – the longest streak in franchise history. The Suns had to do without their injured top scorer Devin Booker. The Suns caught this as a collective: seven players scored double-digit points.
The Toronto Raptors stopped the Milwaukee Bucks: The team from Canada won with 97:93 (48:40), with which the Bucks lost a game for the first time after eight successes in a row. At the Bucks, MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo failed. The Chicago Bulls confirmed their strong form with a 119: 115 (69:51) away win. DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine scored Chicago’s final 14 points and led the Bulls to their 15th win of the season.
Ice hockey: Stützle and Sturm win in the NHL
The German national ice hockey players Tim Stützle and Nico Sturm celebrated victories with their teams in the North American professional league NHL. Stützle won with the Ottawa Senators 3-2 against the Carolina Hurricanes, but also remained without a scorer point in 15:02 minutes of ice time in the fourth game in a row. Despite their fifth win of the season, the Canadians are the worst team in the east.
The best team in the Central Division, however, remains the Minnesota Wild with Sturm. The Wild celebrated with the 5: 2 against the New Jersey Devils the fifth win in a row and the 16th overall. Sturm received a time penalty for stopping and was on the ice when one of the two goals conceded.

In the last six and a half minutes, Dallas’ defense managed three interceptions against Saints quarterback Taysom Hill. This resulted in a touchdown from Carlos Watkins to 27:10, which was also the decision.
