OKC puts pressure on Dallas
With Kevin Durant, the Suns are unbeatable

In the top game between the Denver Nuggets and the Phoenix Suns, superstar Kevin Durant makes the difference. The Arizona team had already secured the playoffs. The Dallas Mavericks can only dream of such spheres at the moment.

With Kevin Durant on the field, the Phoenix Suns remain unbeatable in the NBA and have cemented their status as title contenders heading into the playoffs. The Suns went 119-115 against the Denver Nuggets and extended their winning streak in the world’s top basketball league to seven games.

Since moving to Arizona from the Brooklyn Nets, Durant has not lost in the Suns jersey. With 29 points he was the best pitcher for his team. However, the Nuggets, who already have first place in the Western Conference and home field advantage in the playoffs, did without their regular players around MVP candidate Nikola Jokic.

The Oklahoma City Thunder went 114-98 against the Utah Jazz, adding to the concerns of the Dallas Mavericks. OKC would still qualify for the Play-Inn in tenth place, the Mavericks in eleventh place would no longer be qualified. However, the Mavericks around national player Maxi Kleber, the stars Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving still have two games left until the end of the main round, the Thunder only one more.

The Mavericks had failed the night before to subsequently win a victory at the green table. However, the protest against the game rating after their home defeat at the end of March against champions Golden State Warriors failed. Dallas warned of an ambiguous whistle from the referee. With almost 14 minutes left to play after the scene and Dallas taking the lead twice in the last 120 seconds, the NBA said the Mavericks were not denied a chance to win, the NBA statement said.

Certainly not in the playoffs are the Orlando Magic. At 94:118, coach Jamaal Mosley mainly gave the reserves playing time. Moritz Wagner had nine points, four rebounds, two assists and one block in almost 21 minutes. His younger brother Franz Wagner did not play at all.
