Basketball: Pöltl Topscorer at Spurs-Bankruptcy

The 23-year-old Viennese scored 14 points and was the top scorer for his team for the first time. Pöltl has transformed seven of his ten litters. He also got eight rebounds, including five on the board during the offensive. With 20:43 minutes, the center of 2.13 meters has had the most play time in the Spurs dress so far.

The five-time NBA champion only took place at the Minneapolis Target Center in the first quarter. As a result, the hosts clearly dominated the action and led after a 29: 9 in the second section already at the 57:34 break.

Low evening of Spurs stars

For the Spurs, it was the ninth loss in 13 games. They now have 10 wins and 11 losses and have for the first time since 2003/04 a negative balance. Stars DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge clinched with just ten points this time completely. Players in the starting lineup of coach Gregg Popovich had only 35 points.

In addition, Pau Gasol loses even longer. As his coach Gregg Popovich explained before the match, the Spanish striker, suspended since early November, had a fracture of his left foot fatigue.

End of the series

The Spurs have the opportunity to be forgiven on Friday when they will return to their native AT & T center after nine days to receive the Houston Rockets.

The next opponent had to bow to another Texas derby, the Dallas Mavericks, in front of their own home crowd. 108: 128. The guests were led by the only rookie Luka Doncic, 19 years old. The "Slovenian wunderkind", universally applicable, scored 20 points. The Rockets also contributed to a James Harden triple-double with 25 points, 11 rebounds and 17 badists.
