INDIANAPOLIS — The Toronto Raptors hadn’t loss a game since January 13 and rolling into Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Friday night didn’t change a thing. By the time the smoke cleared they were walking out of the joint with a 115-106 victory over the Pacers to extend their winning streak to a franchise best 13-games.
Led by Serge Ibaka’s 22 points and his scarf the Raptors did enough work to win their 10th straight road victory. It was their first win in Indianapolis in 13 months. They’ve managed to beat Indiana twice in three days. Ballin’ without key players Marc Gasol and Norman Powell who are both injured has been amazing.
Fred VanVleet dropped off another 20 points to keep the wagon moving forward for the team from the North. The entire starting five for the Raptors had at least 15 points with Terence Davis coming off of the bench with 17. Talk about boyz showing up for the party.
Indiana was led by Mr. Double-Double himself, Domantas Sabonis, with 19 points and 16 rebounds. Malcolm Brogdon dropped off 16 and Victor Oladipo who is starting to find some rhythm came through with 15 points.
Justin Holiday and TJ McConnell both came off of the bench with 12 points each. It was the fourth straight loss for the Pacers as Zion Williams and Co. roll into the Hoosier state on Saturday night.
