On March 21, Beijing time, in an NBA regular season game that ended earlier today, the Toronto Raptors defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 93-88 on the road. It is worth mentioning that after winning this game. The Raptors have won all of their last six away games, while they have suffered three straight losses in their last three home games.
In this game, Raptors star Pascal Siakam played well. He played 36 minutes, shooting 10-of-20, including 1-of-3 from three-point range, and recorded 26 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Although the Raptors' two main players, VanVleet and Anunoby, did not play in this game, Siakam successfully held up the team's offensive banner, and he played a very efficient performance in the case of a team-wide shooting rate that was not ideal.
So far in the regular season this season, Siakam's performance has been very impressive. He averaged 37.7 minutes per game and could have 22.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.6 blocks. He shot 48.7 percent from the field and 35.9 percent from three-point range. With his outstanding personal performances, he has also become one of the favourites for the best team this season.
Meanwhile, in today's game. Raptors youngster Achuva's performance is also very good. He shot 9-of-15 from the field, including 2-of-4 from three-point range, and had 21 points and nine rebounds. And in recent times, Achuva's form has been hot, and he has scored in double figures in seven consecutive games. It has to be said that the raptors' forward line strength is too strong, and the forward lineup composed of Siakam, Anunoby, Barnes, Achuva, etc. can attack and defend.
After winning today's game, the Raptors' current record has come to 40-31 and ranks seventh in the East. They are only one win behind the sixth-place Cavaliers in the East, and as long as they can play every game that follows, there is still hope of hitting the top six in the East.
