Precisely after setting a season-high 16 points, Danny Abdia took a step back. Washington put on another particularly weak display tonight (Sunday through Monday) and suffered a second straight loss, 102: 90 against Toronto. Abdia, who insisted on trying to play even though he had a high fever, finished without points (0 of 1 from the field), a rebound, an assist and an index plus minus the second lowest in the game, 17-. This was the second time this season that the Israeli did not score in the game.
As in the previous game against Cleveland, the winning identity was clear already at a very early stage of the confrontation. The Canadians opened the evening with a storm led by Pascal Siakam (24 points in the first half) and the scoreboard showed a resounding 14:34 to the hosts after only 15 minutes. By the way, the first quarter in which the team from the US capital scored only 12 points was its weakest this season. The record difference was 25, and the guests who mentioned their bad days from last season could not get close until the end. Washington dropped to a balance of 10:14, while Toronto Went up to 13:11.
Siakam finished with 31 for the Raptors who put together a second straight win for the first time in a month, and Chris Bush scored 14 points and 6 rebounds in 18 minutes. Rookie Scotty Barnes scored 11 and Fresh Achieva (14 rebounds) and Fred Van Wallit added 10 each. O. G. Anonovy and Kam Birch continued to miss Nick Ners. Bill settled for 14 points and 7 assists.Davis Bartans scored 0 of 6 from three, with the entire team having 8 of 25 from that range (32%).
For Abdia it was a game he would rather forget. The Israeli rarely received balls and was unable to express himself on both sides of the field. Luckily, he will have a chance to make amends in less than 24 hours when Washington hosts Domantas Savonis’ Indiana.
On to Indiana. #DCAboveAll | @Ticketmaster pic.twitter.com/IgHJZrmTSy
