Double-Double from Pöltl in the test defeat of the Spurs

Even a double-double by Jakob Pöltl did not prevent the San Antonio Spurs’ second test defeat before the restart of the NBA season.

The center from Vienna recorded twelve points and eleven rebounds at 119: 124 against the Brooklyn Nets in Orlando on Saturday (local time).

Pöltl had once again belonged to the Texans’ starting line-up. He stood on the floor for 23:01 minutes, in which he also booked an assist and a blocked throw. The Spurs were led by Derrick White with 22 points.

24 ball losses were decisive for the new defeat. The 24-year-old from Vienna also saw it that way. He found “little progress” compared to the 92: 113 against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday, but noted at the same time that his team had to “improve defensively and avoid turnovers”.

Before the Spurs meet the Sacramento Kings on August 1 (2:00 p.m. CEST), a test against the Indiana Pacers is scheduled on Tuesday (10:00 p.m. CEST).
