The busy NBA season tonight (Sunday) provided an intriguing early game to our delight, in which the Toronto Raptors defeated the Indiana Pacers 102: 107, thanks to a great defensive display that stopped Domantas Savonis and Malcolm Brogdon on 6 of 32 from the field.
Indiana Pacers – Toronto Raptors 107: 102
The 2019 champions started the season calmly but as the season progresses the Raptors look better, and tonight, without Pascal Siakam and Kyle Laurie – they recorded a fifth win in their last six games. After the first quarter the consideration of Nick Ners’ team began to warm up, as the gap swelled to 15 points in the third quarter. From that moment on, the Pacers took control of things completely and went for a 0:14 run that turned the result around in the opening of the fourth quarter.
Did you think the story was over? Not if it depends came. G. Anonobi and Norman Powell. The forwards did everything from everything and mostly provided important baskets in the last minutes but from the other side, Justin Holiday and Miles Turner managed to keep the host in the picture until the last seconds. Unfortunately this was not enough this time.
Anonobi led the Raptors with 30 points and eight rebounds. Fred Van Wallit added 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and Powell provided 20 of his own. Turner, on the other hand, led Knight’s side in the Yorker with 25 points. Holiday recorded a double-double of 16 points and 10 assists.
