Without Jakob Pöltl, who is still injured, the Toronto Raptors suffered their 15th defeat in a row in the North American Basketball League NBA on Wednesday (local time).

The away game at the leaders of the Western Conference, the Minnesota Timberwolves, ended 133:85. It has been clear for some time that the Raptors can no longer qualify for the play-offs.

The same applies to the Brooklyn Nets, who, despite a 115-111 win against the Indiana Pacers, no longer have a chance of finishing tenth in the Eastern Conference and thus securing a play-in spot. The Atlanta Hawks, on the other hand, triumphed 121:113 over the Detroit Pistons and are firmly in the play-in in the East.
