Jakob Pöltl: Double-double on his birthday
Jakob Pöltl recorded a double-double for the second time in a row on Tuesday (local time) in preparation for the new season in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The center from Vienna scored 15 points and 16 rebounds on his birthday in the Toronto Raptors' 119:118 win over the Boston Celtics.
The 29-year-old also notched up four assists in 30:13 minutes of action.
With the victory in front of their own crowd, the Canadians gained revenge for Sunday's 111:115 loss to the reigning NBA champions. The Raptors played their only home game of the preseason on Tuesday.
They conclude the series of preparation games on Friday at the Brooklyn Nets. Toronto will start the regular season of the world's strongest basketball league on Wednesday next week against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
