Game Preview
Less than twenty-four hours after suffering a contentious 132-131 defeat to the LA Lakers, the Toronto Raptors will play the LA Clippers on Wednesday. The significant difference in free throws made by the Lakers and Raptors led to criticism of both the NBA and the referees by Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic. Keeping that in mind, Toronto will remain in Los Angeles to play a second team full of stars.
The Los Angeles Clippers, on the other hand, have been playing fantastically lately. They have prevailed in 6 of their past 7 matches overall, and they will be keen to continue their winning ways after easily defeating the Suns 138-111 on Monday. Paul George scored the most points for the team with 25, followed by Ivica Zubac and James Harden, who each scored 19 and Terance Mann, who scored 14. The Clippers got into a rhythm early on to seize the advantage and shot a scorching 62% from the floor and 15 of 29 from three points as a unit. However, in the final period, they went on a tear, blowing the game away.
The Toronto Raptors, who have lost 7 of their previous 11 matches overall, are in a rut. They will be looking to get out of it today after suffering a heartbreaking 132-131 away loss to the Lakers the previous night. Having 26 points and 6 assists from 11 of 20 shots, Scottie Barnes paced the squad. Pascal Siakam followed with 25 points, RJ Barrett with 23 points, 10 boards, and 5 assists, and Immanuel Quickley with 21 points alongside 5 assists. The Raptors held up against the Lakers in a close game, shooting 56% from the floor overall and 17 of 35 from three. However, the Lakers utilized a crucial 8-0 burst late in the final period to pull ahead of them in the end. After this game, the Raptors will play the Jazz.
