Pascal Siakam scores 28 points as Toronto Raptors beat Charlotte Hornets 132-120
The Toronto Raptors finally rediscovered their long-range shooting – and it led to a victory on Tuesday.
The Raptors, who entered the game 29th in the league in three-point shooting – Charlotte is last – shot a season-high 20 three-pointers, and were just shy of their season’s best three-point percentage .Coming off a 117-105 win over Portland two nights earlier that snapped a three-game losing streak, the Raptors carried some momentum into Tuesday, shooting 50 per cent from three-point range through the first half.
The Raptors and Hornets looked anything but the league’s worst three-point shooting teams in the first quarter, shooting a combined 11-for-17 from behind the arc. Siakam had back-to-back threes and 14 points in a tight first quarter that saw neither team lead by more than five points, and Toronto led 35-34 to start the second.
