With a sovereign 114: 83 at the Portland Trail Blazers, the San Antonio Spurs celebrated their third win in a row in the National Basketball Association (NBA) on Thursday (local time) and the highest win of the game year to date. Jakob Pöltl contributed 14 points and nine rebounds as well as four blocks, two assists and a steal. The Viennese were in action for 29:39 minutes.
Right from the start, the Spurs left no doubt in Portland as to who will leave the floor as the winner. They were through from 3-0 Derrick White Always in the lead after 25 seconds. “We moved the ball very well in the first half. After the break it was a little less fluid offensively, but we continued to defend strongly,” said Pöltl.
Now the heavy chunks come
In the next two games, the currently strongest teams in the league are waiting for the Texans. On Saturday Pöltl and colleagues will be guests at NBA leader Golden State Warriors, on Monday at the Phoenix Suns, who celebrated their 18th consecutive victory with a 114: 103 against the Detroit Pistons. This is a new record for the Arizona club.
Last but not least, the Memphis Grizzlies celebrated a historic victory. The 152: 79 against Oklahoma City Thunder was an NBA record. There had never been a 73 point difference in a game before.
There was good news from the Los Angeles Lakers camp: LeBron James may play again after two negative PCR tests. The star was on the Corona list for a short time and missed the game against the Sacramento Kings. James had announced before the season that he was vaccinated against the coronavirus.
