Raptors now 11-10 after L to Pels.
Food for thought…
At this point last yr, TOR was 9-12 & had played 10 gms w/o Siakam as well (missed start of season following shoulder surgery).
After 31 gms? 14-17.
Beyond the midway point? 23-23.
Raps then went 25-11 to finish 48-34. – 11:03 PM

Zion Williamson flying around the whole game has been a thing. Forget just offense, he’s been going fiercely after rebounds, contesting jumpers and chasing blocks.

A reminder that Pascal Siakam is a certified Pelican killer. He averages 19.3 points in 11 career games vs NOLA (only team he averages more against is Atlanta). He dropped 44 pts in that building a few years back.
He’s scored the Raptors’ first 9 pts tonight. 4-6 FG in 3 mins. – 8:16 PM

Per Second Spectrum:
– Pels are switching 30.8% (11th in NBA) of the time this season, up from 19.5% (22nd in NBA) a year ago
– With Jonas Valanciunas on the court, the Pels switch 18.9% of the time. Without him, that jumps to 41.2%. That 41.2 would be 4th overall. – 5:57 PM

The Pelicans have the versatility to play any style, but placing a premium on execution in all areas will be the biggest key against the Raptors. https://t.co/02aQHC3luN pic.twitter.com/3t533WiCdO – 5:00 PM
