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: game cancellations and catch-up games due to corona problems.
Ice hockey: Nine out of ten games canceled: Lightning win only NHL game
Defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning won the only game in the NHL on Tuesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. Nine of the ten originally planned ice hockey games in the best league in the world had been canceled due to Corona. Tampa Bay turned a 1: 3 and won thanks to the 14th goal of the season from Steven Stamkos 4: 3 in the last third. The team had to do without coach Jon Cooper, who had tested positive for the corona virus before the encounter.
Basketball: Dallas Mavericks win in NBA without Doncic, Porzingis and Kleber
Without Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis and the German national basketball player Maxi Kleber, the Dallas Mavericks have won their second home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Two days after the defeat on Sunday, the Texans got a 114: 102 on Tuesday evening (local time). The two stars Doncic and Porzingis were injured, Kleber is on the NBA’s Corona list like four other Mavericks professionals.
With the victory, which NBA legend Dirk Nowitzki accompanied as a commentator for the Mavs, the team now has a balanced record of 15 wins and 15 defeats and overtook the Timberwolves in the Western Conference. Because the Phoenix Suns won 108-90 against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Mavericks are also level with the NBA record champions. The Suns are now the sole leaders of the Western Conference again and have a narrow lead over the Golden State Warriors, who have one more defeat on the account.
Football: Rams and Eagles win NFL catch-up games
A week after the big Corona outbreak in the team, the Los Angeles Rams have won their important NFL home game against the Seattle Seahawks. The Rams, with 25 football professionals on the Corona list in the meantime, won the game, which had been rescheduled from Saturday to Tuesday due to the many positive tests, with 20:10. With ten wins and four losses, the Rams now have the same yield as the Arizona Cardinals at the top of NFC West. The Seahawks, who also lacked numerous players, have only theoretical chances of participating in the playoff due to the defeat.

The Philadelphia Eagles, on the other hand, have justified hopes through their victory in the encounter with the Washington Football Team, which was also postponed for Corona reasons. The Eagles came to a 27:17 success and are now with seven wins and seven losses as well as the Minnesota Vikings, who currently occupy the last wildcard place of the NFC and took over this position from Washington.
