The Raptors have found a balance and it is leading to positive results.
His players certainly are. Anunoby is on a tear and at least one of Barnes or Trent are providing big-time scoring punch most nights, while Poeltl has been a perfect pick-and-roll partner for VanVleet — a huge target with soft hands and a deft touch inside.“I think this point we just got to take what the defence gives. We’re at the stage where we’re going to get the other team’s best look get the most attention,” VanVleet said of the dynamic duo.
“I thought we got off to a slow start their so after a couple of possessions I was just trying to push the pace there a little bit, find a couple of buckets there, knock a shot down and Pascal got going in the third and in the fourth made big plays for us,” VanVleet said.Minnesota was without star guard Anthony Edwards, who hurt his ankle early in Friday’s double-overtime loss against Chicago. Edwards leads the Wolves in scoring , steals and is one of the NBA’s top young talents.
Gobert said afterward he was “really proud of the way we came out and competed.” The former all-star noted the team “Got to the hotel at 5:00 a.m. A lot of adversity for us but we came out and we tried to compete to try to win the game. Obviously, Toronto is a very physical team. They kind of wore us down throughout the whole game and at the end we just ran out of gas.
