Raptors get back on track despite early struggles against woeful Rockets
Fortunately for the Raptors there was a little more of the latter and less for the former as they turned yet another demoralizing start into a solid finish on their way to a 117-111 win.
The combination of Boucher and Fred VanVleet got the deficit down to just one at the end of the first quarter. With the win the Raptors are now an even 3-3 on this longest road trip of the season. They can secure a winning trip still, but it’s going to take a win over Memphis in the trip finale on Sunday to do so.Pascal Siakam may not be at the very top of his game right now, but in no way does that let those coaches that deemed him unworthy of an all-star spot off the hook.Article content
