The Toronto Raptors continue their impressive run, defeating the New Orleans Pelicans in a thrilling matchup.
The Toronto Raptors secured their fourth consecutive victory with a convincing 113-104 win against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night. Jakob Poeltl and Scottie Barnes spearheaded the Raptors' triumph, each recording double-doubles. Barnes amassed 21 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists, while Poeltl contributed 21 points and 14 rebounds.
Despite Zion Williamson's impressive performance for the Pelicans, who led with 31 points and 7 rebounds, the Raptors' strong teamwork and offensive consistency proved too much to overcome. The game featured a back-and-forth battle, with the Pelicans erasing an earlier 17-point deficit to take a 73-72 lead heading into the fourth quarter. However, the Raptors responded with a decisive 17-6 run fueled by Barnes and Poeltl's combined 12 points, ultimately maintaining control and securing the victory. The Raptors' improved defensive performance, holding the Pelicans to a 31.7 percent shooting percentage in the first half, played a crucial role in their success.Prior to the game, Barnes was honored as the Eastern Conference Player of the Week, averaging 22 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 6 assists across three consecutive Raptors victories. This win marks the Raptors' first four-game winning streak since February 2023, demonstrating their growing momentum and making them a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference.
