The Raptors' margin for error is thin and that was magnified by Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka's injuries. (MichaelGrange)

But the Raptors managed to outlast the Pelicans 122-104 even if they had to sweat bit in the second half while short-handed.

The Raptors played hard even if it seemed like barely half the arena was watching at the Smoothie King Center. Jackson collected his rebound but by that time Ibaka had sprinted back and made him miss at the rim again. While Siakam scored 16 points in the first quarter and had 26 in the first half, it was the contributions from outside the Nurse’s starters — or at least their core scoring options — that was encouraging as Toronto put up a franchise-record 45 points in the second quarter on their way to a 75-53 first half lead. They led by 29 at one point.

"I don’t know, I think you have to be able to win in different ways and not get too caught up in holding teams to 80 points every night. "
