The Toronto Raptors have clinched a pizza party.
For the first time in nearly a year, the Raptors have a three-game winning streak after a 130-122 win against the Indiana Pacers.
Seven Raptors scored in double-figures.
All-Star Scottie Barnes led the charge with 21 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists, recording his fourth triple-double of the season. He is the first Raptor in franchise history to record four triple-doubles in a single-season.
RJ Barrett scored 24 points and Immanuel Quickley added 19 as the Raptors improve to 3-0 post-All-Star break.
Rookie Gradey Dick had another outstanding performance finishing with 18 points. He made two key threes late to break open the game while matching his season-high with four threes made.
Ochai Agbaji had another nice outing for the Raptors as well. He finished with 13 points on 4-7 shooting.
Toronto kept the league’s best shooting team in check. All-Star guard Tyrese Hailburton struggled. He had 9 points and 7 assists while going 2 of 11 from the field. The Pacers shot just 46 percent as a team.
Toronto built a 61-56 lead and then watched Indiana score six straight in the third quarter to make it 67-66.
Toronto answered with an 11-0 run, but then the Pacers came back within 90-87 at the end of the third quarter. The Pacers lead 96-95 early in the fourth but the Raptors hung around.
The Raptors then went on a 10-2 run that gave them a 112-104 lead that put Indiana away.
Toronto’s bench continues to impress as Dick, Agbaji and Kelly Olynyk combined for 38.
Jakob Poetl who finished the game with 15 points and 10 rebounds suffered a left ankle sprain in the third quarter. He did not return to the game.
Next on tap
Toronto will have a day off and then they will be back in action on Feb. 28 when they host Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. The Raptors will look to make it four straight wins.
