The MVP of the night | Scottie Barnes in Raptors history

New reunion between Pascal Siakam and his former teammates, and he is his disciple, Scottie Barnes, who steals the show! With their multiple exchanges, Toronto leaders gave the keys to their franchise to their young winger, and he justifies his All-Star status, game after game.

Last night, in Indiana, he signed his 5th career triple-double, and his 4th of the season. It's a franchise record! He climbs to 2nd place in the rankings for his franchise, tied with Pascal Siakam, and behind Kyle Lowry.

Absolutely everywhere, and capable like Nikola Jokic and Kevin Love of transforming a rebound into a “touchdown”, the Toronto winger has 21 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists, but also 5 blocks! In its wake, the Raptors won against the Pacers, for a third victory in a row. Darko Rajakovic's players are undefeated since the All-Star Game was cut, and Scottie Barnes has an explanation.

His five blocks impress

“Everyone circulates the ball, everyone shares it… We are united, we trust each other in attack, and it works well” he explains at the sidelines. “It’s the fruit of training during the break. »

Not a word about his personal performance, and it is his coach who agree to talk about it. “Scottie is an extremely competitive person, and he will do everything possible for us to win. He brings an energy that turns into a triple-double tonight. He makes five blocks… I don't expect him to be perfect, but when he plays like that, he drags everyone else down with him. »

Same feeling with RJ Barrett: “Scottie is everywhere!” He makes five blocks! Really, he was everywhere on the field, and that proves that he is indeed an All-Star. »
