Pöltl team in crisis
Good start is not enough! Toronto loses again
The Toronto Raptors suffered their fourth defeat en suite in the National Basketball Association (NBA) on Thursday (local time) with a 104:114 loss at the Miami Heat. Jakob Pöltl was not in the starting line-up for the first time this season, but was still the second-best scorer with 16 points. He also had four rebounds, two assists and steals and one block. The 29-year-old center from Vienna played 27:06 minutes.
The Raptors remain a welcome guest this season. The defeat in downtown Miami was their twelfth in 13 games away from home. Toronto had started strongly and was 41:25 ahead after three-and-a-half minutes in the second quarter.
However, the thread then snapped. Tyler Herro (23 points), Bam Adebayo (21 points, 16 rebounds) and colleagues recaptured the lead before the break and did not relinquish it thereafter. Gradey Dick was the Raptors' most successful scorer. The shooting guard scored 22 points. Toronto will host the Chicago Bulls on Monday.
The Boston Celtics celebrated their 20th win of the season with a 123:99 victory over the Detroit Pistons. The reigning NBA champions were led by Payton Pritchard with 27 points. Derrick White, Pöltl's former team-mate at the San Antonio Spurs, was responsible for 23 points.
