What you missed that night in NFL, NBA, and NHL
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: Moritz Seider shines with an assist.
Ice hockey: next strong performance by Moritz Seider in the NHL
Moritz Seider and the Detroit Red Wings have won their first victory in the North American professional ice hockey league since mid-December. In the clear 6: 2 (1: 0, 3: 1, 2: 1) on Tuesday evening (local time) against the San Jose Sharks, the Red Wings scored two short hits within 37 seconds.
The first from Pius Suter to 2-0 in the meantime ended a series of 100 games without a shortfall for Detroit. Seider assisted the second by Tyler Bertuzzi. It was the 19th assists of the season for the German defender – no other league newcomer has more. The 20-year-old rookie was on the ice with 21 minutes longer than any other Red Wing.
Goalkeeper Thomas Greiss, on the other hand, was not used. Detroit is in contact with the playoff places with 16 wins after 34 games in midfield in the Eastern Conference.
A game scheduled for January 18 by the Red Wings with the Philadelphia Flyers and another game by the New York Islanders against the Columbus Blue Jackets have been postponed. It was already the game cancellations number 93 and 94 of the current NHL season. Because of a corona outbreak among the Islanders, their game scheduled for Tuesday at Philipp Grubauer’s Seattle Kraken was also canceled. In addition, the game of the Kraken against the Ottawa Senators scheduled for Thursday was postponed on Monday.
Basketball: Bonga with the Raptors on the rise
National basketball player Isaac Bonga is still on the upswing with the Toronto Raptors in the North American professional league NBA. The Canadians won against the San Antonio Spurs with 129: 104 and celebrated their third victory in a row. Bonga only played a minor role. The 22-year-old was used for around four minutes and remained without a point.
Basketball: LeBron James dominates the Lakers win
Basketball superstar LeBron James has led the Los Angeles Lakers to their third win in a row in the North American professional league NBA. James scored 31 points in the 122: 114 against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday evening (local time) and also posted five assists and five rebounds. In addition to 14 points, Dwight Howard contributed just as many rebounds to the success of the Lakers, who are now back in seventh place in the Western Conference with a positive balance. The 37-year-old James has scored more than 30 points in eight of his last nine games.
Another currently dominant player in the league is Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies. In the 110-106 win against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Morant scored six of his 26 points in the last 30 seconds of the game. It was the sixth win in a row for the Grizzlies.
