RAPTORS 108, BULLS 84: Pascal Siakam on OG Anunoby’s four blocks: “He did a great job defending. He looked like Serge (Ibaka) a little bit out there. He been hanging out with Serge so I guess he got a little tips on how to block shots but I’ve never seen him act like that so that was good.”

“Mitch Marner recorded the primary assist on Jake Muzzin’s first period goal. Marner has assists (3) in two consecutive games. He has five assists over his last five games. His nine primary assists are tied for the third-most primary assists in the NHL.”
