Basketball professional Jakob Pöltl still needs patience: In the Toronto Raptors’ 117:104 win against the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday (local time) in the NBA, the 30-year-old Viennese had to pass for the third time in a row due to persistent back problems. The Canadians celebrated their first home win of the season and now have a 3-4 overall record.
RJ Barrett with 27 and Brandon Ingram with 26 points were the Raptors’ most successful scorers. Toronto hosts the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. The first meeting with the team around NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo was lost 116:122 a week and a half ago.
Oklahoma City Thunder also won the seventh game of the season and remains the only NBA team undefeated after Sunday’s games. The defending champions were safe in the 137:106 win against the still winless New Orleans Pelicans. After five wins, the Chicago Bulls suffered their first defeat with 116:128 at the New York Knicks, as did the San Antonio Spurs with 118:130 at the Phoenix Suns. (APA)
