Top scorer in 113:104
NBA: Pöltl leads Toronto to fourth win in a row
Jakob Pöltl led the Toronto Raptors to their fourth win in a row in the National Basketball Association (NBA) on Monday (local time). The Viennese was the top scorer with 21 points in the 113:104 win against the New Orleans Pelicans. In addition, 14 rebounds meant his 50th double-double in the Canadians' kit. The 29-year-old center also recorded five assists and three blocks in 31:55 minutes of action.
The win against the Pelicans was also the Raptors' sixth in the last seven games. The success was secured in the final quarter. In this phase alone, Pöltl was on hand with ten points and six rebounds. Scottie Barnes also scored a total of 21 points, although he only converted six of 21 shots from the game. The home NBA pioneer made ten out of 14.
The Canadians want to continue their current run of form on Wednesday at the Washington Wizards. The NBA's bottom club suffered its 39th defeat in its 45th game of the season with a 108:130 loss at the Dallas Mavericks.
