Pascal Siakam scores 22 points as Toronto Raptors beat Charlotte Hornets 120-100 for fifth win in past six games
Pascal Siakam scored 22 points and the Toronto Raptors rallied from four 9-point first quarter deficits to roll past the Charlotte Hornets 120-100 on Tuesday night.
Siakam also had 14 rebounds and was joined in double digits by Chris Boucher , Will Barton , O.G. Anunoby , Fred VanVleet , Precious Achiuwa and Jakob Poeltl . Toronto’s 36-20 second quarter was sparked by reserves Boucher and Barton, who combined for nine 3-pointers. “We need that off the bench,” Boucher said of Barton’s production. “The more guys we have that can do things will help. They got Will here for a reason. They know what he can do and today was just a peek at what he can do.”
According to Monday’s Toronto Star, Boucher grew up in abject poverty, was once homeless, dropped out of school and washed dishes at restaurants.
