Canadian Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ready to put on a show against Toronto Raptors
The Oklahoma City Thunder aim to extend their winning streak to four games Friday against the undermanned Toronto Raptors.
The Raptors , meanwhile, lost their eighth in a row on Wednesday, 123-89 to the visiting Sacramento Kings. Immanuel Quickley was added Wednesday to the long list of Raptors on the sidelines. Gilgeous-Alexander became the 13th player in NBA history to score 30 points or more 50 times in a single season. He is the fifth to do it in the last 35 seasons, joining Michael Jordan , James Harden, Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady.“It’s just a desire to do better,” Rajakovic said. “Everybody’s eager to perform better, to compete better. A lot of players are playing outside of their roles and something they’re not accustomed to.
Gary Trent Jr. scored 18 points on Wednesday for the Raptors, who have dropped 10 of their past 11 games.
