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 during the night in American football, basketball and ice hockey. Today among other things: A record goal from Ovechkin and a points show from Curry.
Basketball: Curry topped with 50 points
The Golden State Warriors have won the NBA for the fifth time in a row thanks to an outstanding performance by star player Stephen Curry and substantiated their claims in the Western Conference. Against the Atlanta Hawks, the dominant team of the past decade scored 127: 113 on Monday evening (local time) and now has nine wins in ten games. No other team in the best basketball league in the world has a better record. Curry had 50 points, seven rebounds and ten assists and was by far the best player on the field.
The Chicago Bulls won their home game against the Brooklyn Nets, which were also improving recently, 118: 95. The Bulls now have seven wins and three losses, the Nets seven wins and four losses. Without the still injured national player Maxi Kleber, the Dallas Mavericks won 108-92 against the New Orleans Pelicans and also have seven wins this season.
Ice hockey: 741st NHL goal for Ovechkin
NHL superstar Alexander Ovechkin has only three players left in the all-time top scorer list of the world’s best ice hockey league. The attacker from Russia scored in the 5-3 Washington Capitals against the Buffalo Sabers on Monday to 3-1. The goal was his 741st goal in the NHL, drawing level with Brett Hull. In front of the two are only Jaromir Jagr (766), Gordie Howe (801) and the great Wayne Gretzky (894). The 36-year-old Ovechkin also prepared two goals for a total of 600 assists in his career.
The Florida Panthers, meanwhile, suffered their first loss of the season in regular time and lost to the New York Rangers 3-4. With ten wins from twelve games, the Panthers are still the most successful NHL team this season.
Football: Steelers beat the Bears
The Pittsburgh Steelers won the hotly contested NFL game against the Chicago Bears. Only a field goal 30 seconds before the end made the 29:27 home win on Monday evening (local time) perfect. The team around quarterback veteran Ben Roethlisberger was leading 14: 0 and 20: 6, but came under considerable pressure in the last quarter and was 1:52 minutes before the end with one point behind. Roethlisberger came in the fourth Steelers win in a row on two touchdown passes.
