It’s going to take another gear for the Raptors to sweep one of these mini two\u002Dgame series.
Well, not quite the same as the Bulls welcomed Zach LaVine back and he was certainly a factor, giving the Bulls a game-high 30 after sitting out the first game of this mini-series to rest his surgically repaired knee following an off-season procedure.
Well, that hasn’t been an issue for a few games now and with Siakam’s absence not expected to be short term, it won’t for a while. Now with one game under their belts without Siakam and with VanVleet running the show again, the ball is back in VanVleet’s hands and he’s calling his own number early and often.
So don’t expect to hear VanVleet talking about taking a step back in terms of his own scoring any time soon, or at least until Siakam is back and filling the box score again. It’s only natural that those numbers would go up with key contributors like first VanVleet and now Siakam sidelined, but it’s what Anunoby is doing with the added opportunities.
If Anunoby can maintain anything close to those kinds of numbers while Siakam remains out, the Raptors might just get through this injury without missing a beat.Article contentPeriodically and again on Monday night, the team gives Birch the night off.
