“We were rather slack today,” said Austria's NBA star after the 112: 117 defeat. Pöltl himself scored four points.
The San Antonio Spurs suffered a 112: 117 defeat at the Toronto Raptors in the National Basketball Association (NBA) on Wednesday (local time). Jakob Pöltl recorded four points, ten rebounds and two blocks in 26:43 minutes against his former team. “We were rather slack today and the Raptors were able to take advantage of this even without some key players,” commented the center on the outcome of the game.
No fewer than 19 times had changed the lead in the duel in Tampa. After the 85:82 just before the end of the third quarter, however, only the Raptors were ahead. Derrick White scored 25 points for the Texans, who host the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday after playing five away games in a row.
Gala performance of curry
In the duel for first place in the Eastern Conference, the Philadelphia 76ers (38:17 wins) are ahead of the game. They defeated the Brooklyn Nets (37:18) in the top game with 123: 117. Center Joel Embiid dominated with 39 points and 13 rebounds. On the other hand, Kyrie Irving had 37 points. With Kevin Durant and James Harden, the Nets were missing two other star players.
Stephen Curry delivered another gala performance. The Guard contributed 42 points in just 29:42 minutes to the 147:10 victory of his Golden State Warriors at Oklahoma City Thunder. He scored 25 without a miss in the third section alone. The 33-year-old was successful in the game from a distance a total of eleven times in 16 attempts. In the fourth quarter, Curry was allowed to take a break. Draymond Green wrote three double digits for the Warriors with twelve counters, 16 assists and ten rebounds.
Luka Doncic was once again the guarantee of victory for the Dallas Mavericks. The 22-year-old Slovene converted a three-point point with the final siren to 114: 113 at the Memphis Grizzlies.
