Pascal Siakam had another game to remember for the Raptors. Here are DaveZarum's takeaways from Toronto's dramatic win.
Not so long ago, this would have been a must-watch game for fans around the NBA. The Thunder looked like sleeper contenders in the Western Conference for much of the season, but entered the game losers of three straight and nine of their last 13.
You wouldn’t know that early on. The Raptors scored 39 first-quarter points and toyed with the league’s fourth-best defence early. By the third quarter, Pascal Siakam was playing like Michigan-era Chris Webber, and the game seemed out of hand. But the Thunder kept coming. Siakam’s lethal combination of speed, size, handles, agility, hops, and power was on full display, rendering him flat-out unstoppable during stretches of Thursday’s game. The 24 year-old continues to establish himself as a clear third star for the Raptors and the way he disrupts opponents’ game plans has been invaluable this season.
