Beijing time on February 10, the NBA regular season continued, today the Thunder sat at home to usher in the challenge of the Raptors, before this game the Raptors have achieved 6 consecutive wins, and the Thunder is a real weak team in the league, and this game thunder Alexander is also absent, so the Raptors did not let the accident happen, they played in the third quarter after the game did not play the suspense, and finally the team won the Thunder 117-98, after winning the game, the Raptors won 7 consecutive wins.
Since the beginning of the season due to a number of core injuries affected the team's record is very bad, and recently with a wave of consecutive victories raptors have reached the sixth place in the East, they are only 4 wins away from the first heat in the East, quite fierce. Before talking about the Raptors, let's talk about the Thunder, this game the Thunder 5 people scored in double figures, Dort scored 15 points on 14 shots, and Gidey scored 13 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal on 6 of 11 games.
Jerome had 13 points, four rebounds and four assists on 5-of-14 shooting, and Both Poku and Maleton scored 18 points on the bench. The Thunder have been hoarding draft picks since the decision to rebuild for the past few years, and while Alexander and Gidey have shown good potential, to be honest the Thunder are not on the right path to rebuilding, they don't know how to win yet, the team's core rotation is also extremely bad, and the talent doesn't look good.
And the Raptors also experienced a period of reconstruction after Leonard left, they rebuilt last season, did not expect to rebuild in just one season, in the last season because of the poor record raptors got the No. 4 pick, they won the template to chase the dream of Green Barnes, this campaign Barnes shot 9 of 5, 1 of 1 three points 1 to take 17 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, the lad is worthy of the best rookie strong contender.
At the same time, last season, the Raptors and the Blazers made a trade to send Powell in exchange for Trent Jr., Trent did not live up to the expectations of the Raptors, averaging 18+ points per game this season, shooting 5 of 12 in the game, 2 of 5 of three points, and efficiently scored 16 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 5 steals. The Raptors dared to send Powell because of Anunoby's growth, and this season Anunoby proved how wise the Raptors were to keep him, and anunoby shot 6 of 12 from the field, 3 of 7 three-pointers, and 15 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block.
And after sending away Lowry, the two leaders of the team to support Fan Jordan and Siakam also did their duty, Van Jordan shot 7 of 17 in this campaign, 6 of 14 three-pointers scored 21 points, 6 assists and 2 steals, Siakam played a thick eyebrow, alphabet brother level performance, 13 of 17 shots, 3 of 3 three points, 1 27 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block data, the team's 5 starters all cut 15+ points, it is indeed too fierce.
This is not a flash in the pan, the Raptors' top five starters this season are really great, so far this season, Sika and Van Jordan are averaging about 21 points per game, Anunoby averaged 18.5 points per game, Trent Jr. averaged 18.3 points per game, Barnes although he did not average more than 15 points per game, but his average of 14.8 points per game is very good.
The raptors' biggest problem now is that the team lacks a decent interior line, before they were rumored to be interested in getting Turner, if they can take Turner, this Raptors will definitely be the strength of the top four levels in the East, speaking of this, what do you want to say about the current Raptors?
