Toronto Raptors star Pascal Siakam has his 9^th 20-point,10 rebound, 5 assist game of the season, passing Chris Bosh for the most in Raptors history.

At the beginning of the season, expectations were at an all-time low for the franchise following Kyle Lowry’s departure in the summer. However, around 53 games into the season, the Raptors are flying high with a 30-23 record and sit as the 6th seed in a competitive Eastern Conference.

While they did start poorly, they have begun to catch fire of late. In fact, they were on a 6-game winning streak, heading into the game against OKC. And oh boy! That confidence was on full display, as they beat down the Thunder 117-98, making it 8 wins in the last 10 games.

It seemed like Siakam is hell-bent on proving Adam Silver wrong following his All-Star snub this time around. Moreover, his impressive displays contribute to winning basketball, with the 7-game streak being an indicator for the same.

In fact, the former G-league-r is playing at the center position for the first time in his career and showing no signs of unfamiliarity, being a double-double machine at the 5 spot. Slowly, but surely, the league is realizing the kind of season that Pascal Siakam is having.
