Game #18: Toronto Raptors 104 - Indiana Pacers 107

[Abbas]

Raptors Republic your prominent thread starter Abbas is back and I am going to make this short and simple

Raptors look to bounce back after a silly lost to the Knicks. They look to demolish the Pacers and end their winning streak. For Indiana (10-8), during their four-game winning streak, Indiana has shot the three at a league-best 48.3 percent, making an average of 11.5 per game. No Pacers player has been hotter beyond the arc than Bojan Bogdanovic, who has connected on 62.1 percent of his looks from deep during Indiana's winning streak. The Croatian-born small forward has delivered 26 points in back-to-back games, making a combined 11 3-pointers in the two games. The Key to the game is to put OG on Boban and shut him down.

Injury Report

Pacers: Glenn Robinson III - out (left ankle surgery rehabilitation), Edmond Sumner - out (left knee surgery rehabilitation)

Raptors: Delon Wright - out (right shoulder)


Noteworthy

Raptors veteran sharpshooter C.J. Miles was a member of the Pacers for three seasons (2014-2017).
The Pacers lost in seven games to the Raptors in the first round of the 2016 NBA Playoffs. Only three players from that Pacers team remain on the roster (Myles Turner, Joe Young, and Glenn Robinson III).


I was informed by my sources that the Raptors will go on a long winning streak from now on. Therefore, I will give an
S/O to random members of the fourm each game thread I make. Wanna show a bit love to you guys as well.

Shoutout of the Day goes to The Claw for being the most annoying Raptors fan of all time.

If we don't win this game, we could very easily end the night going from T-2nd to 5th in the conference, 5 games back of Boston and looking up at Cleveland and New York

So like um, please win

I would definitely like them to win.

But I don't much care about the standings in November, either. Just keep winning at a decent pace.

I'm not saying it's the be all-end all, but it's a long season, so small victories in November are fun. And I hate the negative press clippings tbh

Yeah, I agree with all that - a win would be really nice to bounce back from the bad Knicks loss. I just think that would be true no matter what everyone around us was doing.

CJ won't play.
