Some nights a player steps onto the court and you can almost see a big night radiating from them.
On Sunday, Pascal Siakam had that glow. It came in Euro steps that seemed to endlessly bound through the paint, one country to another to the basket. It was in his crossover, left to right, that shook James Ennis III and opened up the baseline for him to finish off the glass for one of those and-one plays that the Raptors have been missing this season.
His third-quarter posterization of the Magic’s Aaron Gordon was his best play of the year to this point.
