In the North American basketball league NBA, the Toronto Raptors have suffered their eighth defeat in a row without Jakob Pöltl, who is still injured. The Canadians had no chance against the Sacramento Kings, losing 89:123. In Boston, however, everything continues to run like clockwork. 

As a result of the losing streak, the Raptors are now in twelfth place in the Western Conference, which would mean elimination.

Things are quite different for the Boston Celtics. After a 122:119 victory over the first runners-up in the Eastern Conference, the Milwaukee Bucks, the leaders have now won ten home games in a row. The outstanding man was Jayson Tatum with 31 points.
