ORLANDO, FLA.—It’s come naturally to Pascal Siakam, this NBA playoff stuff has, and no one should be the least surprised.
As he has throughout this shocking breakout season, when he moved from energetic and promising backup to one of the most consistent starters on one of the league’s best teams, Siakam has been just as effective in a major post-season role.
The 25-year-old forward has burst through the first two games of Toronto’s opening round series with Orlando like he’s been in the playoffs his entire career, and there seems to be little the Magic can do to slow him down.
