After starring with 32 points on 14-of-17 shooting in the Toronto Raptors' series-opening 118-109 win Thursday, Siakam went just 5-of-18 for 12 points as the Golden State Warriors grabbed home-court advantage with a 109-104 victory in Sunday's Game 2.
"That's basketball," said Siakam, who was 0-for-3 from beyond the arc."You make shots one day and miss them the next day." None more so than in the first six minutes of the third quarter when Golden State went on an eye-popping 18-0 run to flip a 59-54 halftime deficit into a 72-59 lead. Lowry, who fouled out with under four minutes left in the fourth quarter, added Golden State's run came down to fundamental flaws in the Raptors' approach coming out of the break.
