The Toronto Raptors finally broke their road losing streak with a decisive 119-93 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, marking their most comfortable win of the season. The Raptors, who had been struggling with a series of injuries, found success through a surprising three-point barrage led by Ochai Agbaji and Jamison Battle.
Despite their low ranking in three-point shooting efficiency, the Raptors launched 52 attempts, hitting 40%. Agbaji equaled his career high with six three-pointers, while Battle made an impressive debut. The Pelicans, plagued by injuries to key players like Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, were unable to match Toronto's intensity.
This win allowed the Raptors to avoid tying the franchise record for worst start, as they look to build momentum heading into a weekend series against the Miami Heat.
