I can't remember how many parallel goods charlotte wasps have selected over the years, but they still meet the moment when the blind cat meets the dead rat. Just over a year after landing on the NBA stage, Lamelho Ball has already played the technical level of an All-Star player, not only winning the honor of best rookie, but also colliding with many sparks for the unvigorated Hornets. There is also Bridges in the team, who also cashed in on his talent in the final year of his rookie contract, becoming the team's premier scoring point at this stage.
After all the efforts, the Hornets, who have fallen for many years, also currently have a record of 26 wins and 21 losses, coming to the seventh place in the East. There's no doubt that the Hornets have risen to prominence and been given the chance to impact the playoffs. In this game, they dragged the team to Toronto, away to challenge the Raptors who are located there. After sending off the team's champions one after another, the former champion team has lost its former prestige, once only maintaining a record of 22 wins and 22 losses, and still struggling on the edge of the playoffs.
At the beginning of the game, the Toronto Raptors, who played at home, took the lead and gave a 12-point lead with a comprehensive stat of 11 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 5-of-7 shooting in Siakam in the first quarter, as well as Gary Trent Jr.'s 13 points and 1 assist in the single quarter. Entering the second quarter of the showdown, the Raptors, who have a lead in the score, can also follow the trend and further widen the point difference between the two teams. Bridges shot 100 percent from 4-of-4 in the second quarter, and the stats of 13 points and 1 rebound didn't work!
The Raptors' side of Siakam can continue to threaten, once again sending 8 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, leading the team to another 37-34 score to get a 3-point lead. By the end of the first half, the Raptors had a 15-point lead at 76-61. The point difference between the two teams has been widened one after another, and the Raptors have won the game. Easy to fight again, the Raptors who maintain the leading state can still threaten and further lock in the victory! In the third quarter, Trent Jr. delivered 14 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal with an efficient output of 4 of 7 shots to help the team play a 29-25 score.
By the time it came to the crucial final quarter of the showdown, the point difference between the two sides had reached 19 points, and there was basically no great suspense in this game. In the end, in the regular competition in the fourth quarter, although the Hornets were able to make a final resistance and deliver a 27-20 score, they still let the Raptors win the game with a score of 125-113 at the end of the game. Looking back at the game, the raptors' players performed well overall, not only did 6 players on the team score to double digits, but the second round show Trent Jr. also played 35 minutes in the time, with 10 of 3 points, 11 of 21 efficient output, the highest score of the game 32 points.
Not only that, Siakam also handed over a quasi-triple-double of 24 points, 9 rebounds and 12 assists, as well as Anunoby, who handed over 24 points and 7 rebounds. On the other hand, the Hornets, who lost the game, Bridges shot 6 of 10 in a single game, sending 22 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists to save the savior, and Ball had 25 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists. There is no harm without contrast, and the Raptors seem to be a group of faded champions with low picks and even losing drafts, but they have tenacious willpower.
