LOS ANGELES—The pass travelled 20 metres or more, delivered over the heads of a couple of defenders and right on the money.
Kyle Lowry had let heave because he knew what Pascal Siakam could do and where he would be. Siakam hauled the pass in and converted a layup that highlighted his contribution to the Raptors’ 101-92 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.
“It’s on me to put it on a spot, and he catches and finishes it,” Lowry said after the game. “I don’t care if he drops it. I’m going to keep throwing it because I know what he can do, I know he’s going to be there and he’s going to play hard.
