Pascal Siakam showed off his pre-bubble self in the Raptors' win over the Wizards. Is that a sign of things to come? ✍️: loung_s

had, probably, his best game of the season Sunday evening against the Washington Wizards, finishing with 31 points, six rebounds and three assists on 10-of-21 shooting from the floor and a 10-for-12 mark from the free-throw line.

This ease Siakam is beginning to feel is likely a result of extensive film work he’s talked about doing, familiarity and chemistry he’s building with some of his new teammates and, overall, just becoming more aware of where everyone on the floor is and making better decisions with the ball armed with that knowledge.

With Siakam both actively hunting his shot and keeping his eyes peeled for open options to kick out to, it suddenly transforms the Raptors into a much dangerous, multi-faceted offensive threat. Of course, Siakam did slow down in the second half, but by then the damage he inflicted in the first half was done.

‘Shipwreck of civilization’: Pope comforts migrants at a Greek island refugee campPope Francis visits refugee camp on Greek island of Lesbos, criticizes what he describes as indifference and self-interest shown by Europe Why doesn’t the pope release some of the vatican funds and provide them with settlement.
