May 30 (UPI) -- Toronto forward Pascal Siakam ignited the Raptors with an impressive performance during the third quarter in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night.
Raptors superstar Kawhi Leonard struggled in the opening three periods, shooting 4-of-12 from the floor with 18 points and six rebounds. Due to Leonard's offensive woes, Siakam handled the scoring load and helped Toronto maintain its lead during a crucial stretch.
