Toronto Raptors Secure Third Consecutive Win, Coach Delivers on Pizza Promise
The Toronto Raptors extended their post-All-Star break record to 3-0 with a 130-122 victory over the Indiana Pacers. Coach Darko Rajakovic had promised his players a pizza dinner if they achieved a three-game winning streak.
Scottie Barnes Leads the Charge
Scottie Barnes logged his fourth triple-double of the season with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists. RJ Barrett added 24 points, while rookie Gradey Dick scored 18 points, including two crucial 3-pointers late in the game.
