Hertha is having a very weak season. Typhoon Korkut’s team clearly expected to finish in the middle of the standings, but failed the first round. At the moment, the “old lady” is forced to fight for survival. With 22 points, it takes 13th place in the table. Only three points separate from the zone of transitional matches of the capital, which can be lost today. The direct relegation zone is four points away, which is certainly not a serious handicap. The results of the team under the new coach also leave much to be desired. Hertha won their last victory in the 17th round, beating Borussia Dortmund with a score 3:2. Then a point was scored in a duel against Wolfsburg (0:0), while with Cologne (1:3) and Bayern (1:4) they lost in the last round.
The Lakers finally ended their losing streak. In the last match Frank Vogel’s wards defeated Portland at home (99:94). The Lakers’ offense didn’t play well, but 30 points from Anthony Davis and 24 points from Carmelo Anthony gave the team the win. It is worth noting that in previous matches, the Lakers were defeated. They alternately lost to Philadelphia (87:105), Charlotte (114:117) and Atlanta (121:129). Because of these failures, the “lake” settled in ninth place in the West.
