In just their third victory at home this season, the Raptors ended a four-game losing skid with just their second win in their last six games. In a game that came down the dying seconds, Pascal Siakam had 20 points and eight rebounds, while rookie Scottie Barnes had 13. Back after missing two games with a deep calf bruise, Gary Trent Jr. had eight points and eight rebounds.The Raptors were coming off an ugly 98-91 loss to Memphis, dropping five straight at home for the first time since January 2011. Siakam said after the loss to the Grizzlies that “the fans deserve better.
The guard's gesture to the crowd, said Precious Achiuwa, was “Just intensity, get everybody in the game, stay locked in and trying to get the crowd involved. We need that energy and you can play off that and feel good.” Toronto has been hit hard by injuries. OG Anunoby sat out his eighth straight game with a hip injury, and there's no timeline for his return, while Khem Birch remains out with knee swelling.Trent Jr., who wore one white shoe and one black, made his presence felt immediately, connecting on a three-pointer for the first points of the game. Toronto made six of the 10 shots from long-distance in a solid first quarter, and led 26-23 to start the second.
Raptors could have done better, just saying. Pascal, it's time to bounce
