Pöltl’s Raptors celebrate first win of the season
"Rehabilitation" was the order of the day according to Jakob Pöltl and the Toronto Raptors succeeded in the second game of the new season in the NBA: 48 hours after the 106:136 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Canadians celebrated a 115:107 against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The 29-year-old center from Vienna made a significant contribution with 19 points. He also contributed nine rebounds, three assists and four blocks in 27:24 minutes of action.
The Raptors secured their first win of the season in the final quarter, pulling 98:79 ahead with seven-and-a-half minutes left on the clock. "Despite conceding 26 turnovers, we were able to control the game," said Pöltl, who was his team's second-highest scorer. "We were aggressive, hit our free throws and the rookies made a great contribution." Jamison Battle and Jonathan Mogbo (12 each) and Jamal Shead (11) each scored in double figures. Scottie Barnes led the Canadians with 27 points.
The Raptors will face the Minnesota Timberwolves in their first away game of the season on Saturday. Eight years earlier, on October 26, 2016, Pöltl celebrated his NBA debut.
