Pascal Siakam has scored four consecutive wide-open three-pointers over former Raptor P.J. Tucker
Pascal Siakam has scored four consecutive wide-open three-pointers over former Raptor P.J. Tucker, Pascal Siakam is now 7-for-9 from 3 against Houston this season.
Pascal Siakam’s recent success has been a much-needed bright spot for the Raptors, who are still without Kyle Lowry (thumb) and Serge Ibaka (ankle). Pascal Siakam is taking on an even bigger role with those two All-Stars sidelined, and he’s responded by averaging 26.7 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists over the last three games.
Pascal Siakam has been a big reason why the Raptors have been able to stay afloat without Lowry and Ibaka. Siakam has been on fire lately, and it’s not just because he’s making shots. He’s become more vocal on the court, and his energy is infectious. It was on full display in Toronto’s 122-118 win over the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night.
He held the reigning MVP to 22 points on 7-for-22 shooting, and he made life difficult for Harden all night. “He’s just playing with a lot of confidence right now,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said of Siakam. “He’s playing with a lot of energy, and he’s talking out there, too. He’s really engaged in the game, and it shows.”
Siakam has always been a good player, but he’s taken his game to another level this season. He’s been one of the best players on a Raptors team that has the best record in the NBA.
Siakam is a big part of the Raptors’ success, and he’s only going to get better as he continues to grow as a player. He’s already one of the best players in the league, and he’s still getting better.
