Jakob Pöltl contributed a double-double on Monday (local time) at the San Antonio Spurs’ 109: 99 at the Detroit Pistons in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The 25-year-old Viennese recorded 14 points and twelve rebounds. In 25:54 minutes, the center also had two assists, a steal and four blocks.
The Texans’ 20th win of the season was safe. From 29:26 (14th minute), the Spurs did not give up the lead. Pöltl wrote in double double digits for the fifth time in the current game year and for the 14th time in his NBA career. The Viennese noted that his team had rehabilitated itself for the bad performance from the previous day in Philadelphia. “We made too many turnovers, but apart from that we played a very solid game.” Dejounte Murray (19) was the Spurs’ top scorer.
Pöltl had a moment of shock in the middle of the third quarter. He was twisted slightly and had to go into the cabin. However, the center worked again for a few minutes in the final section before it was spared at the end after the game was decided. The 25-year-old then gave the all-clear and was “quite confident that (with the ankle, note) everything is okay”.
At the halfway point of the season, San Antonio is in seventh place in the Western Conference with 20:16 wins and is thus on the play-off course. On Wednesday, Pöltl and colleagues will play the third of five away games in a row at the Chicago Bulls.
Giannis Antetokounmpo scored a triple-double for the third time in a row at the Milwaukee Bucks’ 133: 122 away match against the Washington Wizards. The “Greek Freak” scored 31 points, 15 rebounds and ten assists. Bradley Beal stood out on the Wizards with 37 points.
James Harden also wrote three double digits at the 117: 112 of the Brooklyn Nets against the New York Knicks. “The Beard” recorded 21 points and 15 rebounds and assists each.
Stephen Curry has been the best passer in the history of the Golden State Warriors since Monday. The star guard holds 4,856 assists and overtakes the previous record holder Guy Rodgers (4,855). The 97: 128 against the Los Angeles Lakers could not prevent the 33-year-old since Sunday despite 27 points. With the defending champion, LeBron James recorded a triple-double (22 points, ten rebounds, eleven assists).
