Fred VanVleet posts ninth 30-point game of season
Fred VanVleet had a game-high 35 points and eight assists as the Toronto Raptors survived a late comeback effort from Detroit to take a 119-118 victory over the Pistons on Sunday.
Jakob Poeltl had six points and five rebounds in 25 minutes of action in his first start since being traded to the Raptors on Thursday. He fouled out of the game with 2:32 remaining. Siakam scored six of the Raptors’ first eight points in the final frame to give Toronto a 92-78 edge 1:56 in.A Barnes turnover led to Jaden Ivey hitting a three-pointer to trim the Pistons’ deficit to three with 10.1 remaining. After two VanVleet free throws made it 118-113 with seven seconds on the clock, Bogdanovic cut it to three again with two free throws of his own.
However, a late surge from the Pistons, led by Burks’ 11 first-quarter points, helped Detroit close the frame only down 31-29. After an early exchange of baskets and the lead, VanVleet hit a three-pointer and assisted on two other baskets in a 10-0 Raptors run that gave Toronto a 67-58 edge with 7:47 left in the third.
