What you missed that night in NBA and NFL
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: Stephen Curry chasing three-way record.
Basketball: Curry shortly before NBA record for three – Hartenstein strong
Basketball superstar Stephen Curry is only two successful three-point throws missing for the all-time record in the NBA. The long-time top performer of the Golden State Warriors scored five goals for three points in his team’s 102: 100 victory against the Indiana Pacers on Monday evening and will probably break the historic record against the New York Knicks in Madison Square Garden on Tuesday (local time) – the biggest stage in basketball. Record holder Ray Allen had 2973 three-pointers in his 18-year career, Curry is now 2971 in his 13th year in the NBA.
“He changed the game,” said ex-NBA star Dirk Nowitzki in a discussion with international media before the game. “I don’t think there’s anyone in sight who can break their record.” Thanks to the success, Golden State now has 22 wins in 27 games.
Nowitzki’s former team, the Dallas Mavericks, scored a 120-96 against the Charlotte Hornets and kept in touch with the direct playoffs in the Western Conference. The Mavericks again had to do without the ailing Luka Doncic, in whose absence KristapsPorzingis was the best thrower with 24 points. National player Maxi Kleber scored three points, eight rebounds and three assists on the field in just under half an hour.
The Boston Celtics also took an important win and defeated defending champion Milwaukee Bucks in TD Garden 117: 103. Giannis Antetokounmpo didn’t get more than 20 points for the Bucks, but the Celtics were happy about 42 points from Jayson Tatum. Dennis Schröder recorded seven points, two rebounds and two assists as a substitute.
Isaiah Hartenstein contributed twelve points and five rebounds to 111: 95 for the Los Angeles Clippers against the Phoenix Suns. The Suns won the Western Conference championship against the Clippers last year, made it to the NBA finals and, along with the Golden State Warriors, are currently the best team in the West.
Football: Rams defeat Cardinals and are in the play-off race
The Los Angeles Rams have reported back with an away win against the Arizona Cardinals in the race for the best playoff spot in the NFC. After three defeats in five NFL games, the 30:23 on Monday evening (local time) was a valuable success for the Rams and massively increased the pressure on front runner Arizona. A home win would have made the Cardinals’ playoff participation perfect.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford had three touchdown passes for the Rams and threw a total of 287 yards. “It’s a team victory, we had a lot of resistance this week. We all stuck together, “Stafford told ESPN TV. Defenseman Jalen Ramsey is one of the pros who landed on the NFL’s coronal list on Monday. The NFL reported 36 new cases on its homepage – a daily record. According to information from ESPN, there are even 37 cases.
Kyler Murray, on the Cardinals side, had two interceptions and was left without a touchdown. The game ended with the third sack from Rams defender Aaron Donald, who knocked Murray to the ground as the clock ran out and made the win perfect.
