Jakob Pöltl scored a double-double on Tuesday (local time) for the eleventh time in the current season of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The center marked 19 points and twelve rebounds at the Toronto Raptors and thus at a previous place of work, but could not prevent the fourth defeat of his team in a row. The Texans lost 104: 129. In 22:38 minutes, the center also recorded four assists.

The duel at Lake Ontario was only even in the first quarter. Toronto was ahead for the first time at 30:29 and never gave up the lead afterwards.
San Antonio’s top scorer saw two main reasons for the renewed defeat. “We lost too many balls and couldn’t stop them (the Raptors, note) from beyond the three-point line,” said Pöltl.
The Spurs recorded 20 turnover. In addition, Fred VanVleet ran hot with the opponent and marked 33 points. The former teammate of the local NBA pioneer converted seven distance throws, among other things. For the Spurs there is no break on their away tour. The Texans will be performing at the Boston Celtics on Wednesday.
