The Toronto Raptors lost their last home game of the season in the North American basketball league NBA on Tuesday (local time). After two wins in a row, the team of the injured Jakob Pöltl suffered a 123:140 defeat against the Indiana Pacers, who are currently in sixth place in the Eastern Conference.

The Canadians, who did not qualify for the play-offs, end the season with three away matches.

In the Western Conference, the battle for first place is still wide open. The Minnesota Timberwolves won 130-121 against the Washington Wizards thanks to 51 points from Anthony Edwards, while the Denver Nuggets triumphed 111-95 over the Utah Jazz. The two teams are now level. On Wednesday (local time), the two teams will go head-to-head.
