Ninth loss in a row
Without injured Pöltl: Debacle for Toronto Raptors
The Toronto Raptors have not managed to leave the losers' lane in the National Basketball Association (NBA) even at Christmas. With a 126:155 debacle at the Memphis Grizzlies, they suffered their ninth defeat in a row on St. Stephen's Day. Jakob Pöltl missed his fourth game in a row. The center from Vienna is out due to a groin strain suffered on December 16.
155 points meant a double record: never before had a Grizzlies team scored so many, never before had a Raptors team conceded so many. Memphis' score was also a season best in the NBA. Led by Zach Edey and Jaren Jackson Jr. with 21 points each, eight players from the hosts scored in double figures.
RJ Barrett with 27 points and Scottie Barnes with 26 were the best scorers for the Raptors, whose coach Darko Rajakovic picked up two technical fouls at the start of the final quarter due to heavy criticism from the referees and had to go to the dressing room early. After their 14th defeat in their 15th game away from home, the Canadians will host the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday.
Oklahoma celebrates ninth win in a row
The team from Georgia landed a 141-133 victory over the Chicago Bulls thanks to a 50-25 win in the fourth period. Jalen Johnson was responsible for 30 points and 15 rebounds.
Oklahoma City Thunder celebrated their ninth win in a row with a 120-114 victory at the Indiana Pacers. The Western Conference leaders were led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who equaled his career best in the NBA with 45 points. The hosts in Indianapolis ended a run of five consecutive wins.
