The San Antonio Spurs’ away tour of seven games in the National Basketball Association (NBA) ended on Monday (local time) with the sixth bankruptcy. The 96: 111 at the New York Knicks was also the 25th defeat of the season. Jakob Pöltl marked another double-double with twelve points and ten rebounds. In addition, the center from Vienna posted three assists and two blocks in 24:07 minutes on the floor.
With six players in the league’s coronavirus protocol and the injured Jock Landale, the Spurs were also severely weakened in Madison Square Garden. Still, they held out for three sections. “At the end of a long away trip and still decimated, we did our best, but might not prevent the Knicks from pulling away in the final quarter,” summed up Pöltl, who wrote in double double digits for the 13th time in the game year. Under the circumstances, no more was to be expected, said coach Gregg Popovich. Dejounte Murray was the Texans’ top scorer with 24 points.
For San Antonio a series of seven home games begins until January 23rd. It starts on Wednesday once morest the Houston Rockets.
