TORONTO - Pascal Siakam had 23 points, while Scottie Barnes added 19 and the Toronto Raptors crushed the Indiana Pacers 131-91 on Saturday, in a game that was suspended for 70 minutes due to a fire in a speaker at Scotiabank Arena.
The game resumed with no fans in the building.
The Raptors were leading 66-38 when the game was suspended with 4:05 left in the first half. Fans were evacuated, teams headed to the locker-rooms, and after Toronto Fire Services deemed it was safe to continue, players did a 10-minute warmup and the game resumed.
Precious Achiuwa added 18 points for Toronto (42-32), who moved into fifth in the Eastern Conference with Chicago’s win over Cleveland on Saturday.
