The Toronto Raptors just suffered one of their worst loses in franchise history.

They got trounced on the road by the New Orleans Pelicans 138-100.

The Raptors were without RJ Barrett who missed this game due to injury management and they never stood a chance.

The Pelicans brought it from the opening tip and lead by as many as 43 points.

Ingram led the way for the Pelicans with a season-high 41-points on a career-high eight three-pointers. He hit six of them during the third quarter.

The only bright spot for the Raptors in this blowout loss was rookie Gradey Dick.

Dick scored a career-high 22 points on four three-pointers made. Scottie Barnes scored 17, and Jakob Poeltl had 14 points and 9 rebounds.

Darko Rajakovic was not happy about the Raptors effort in this one

“Fatigue is part of this league and this is a league that there are no excuses,” Raptors coach Rajakovic said. “Nobody’s asking you what did you do yesterday. You’ve got a job to do today and our performance today was unacceptable and this is not the way we want to go about our business.”

The Raptors were coming off a hard fought battle against the Oklahoma City Thunder. A game in which they almost won. And then they turned in one of their worst performances of the season the next night.

The Raptors are in a rebuild and having games go south like this is beginning to become a common theme.

It will be interesting to see what Masai Ujiri does before the trade deadline which is two days away.

Next on tap

The Raptors will wrap up their six-game road trip on Feb. 7 against the Charlotte Hornets.

Toronto is currently 1-4 on their road trip.
