Pascal Siakam scored a career-high 52 points to lead the Toronto Raptors to a 113-106 win over the New York Knicks, ending the Raptors' six-game skid and snapping their opponents' eight-game winning streak.
"It's cool," Siakam said about recording his first 50-point game at Madison Square Garden, according to Pat Pickens of the Associated Press. "I'm not a super basketball historian. I didn't start basketball until a little late, but I know how special this building is, and I think that for me, the most important thing is that my team needed every bucket for us to win."
Siakam added nine rebounds and seven assists in the victory. He shot 17-for-25 from the field and 16-for-18 on free throws, setting career highs in free throws made and attempted, according to StatMuse.
His 52-point output matches the second-highest single-game scoring mark in Raptors franchise history, which DeMar DeRozan recorded on New Year's Day 2018. Toronto's franchise record is 54 points, set by Fred VanVleet in a February 2021 game.
"Special players rise to the occasion in the biggest moments," VanVleet said about Siakam's performance, according to Sportsnet's Michael Grange. "A stage like Madison Square Garden where there's been so many historic performances, he just put his name in the books as one of those guys. It's just been a lot of fun to play alongside and watch him. When he's got it going, he's unbelievable."
Siakam joined LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and James Harden as the only active players to record 50-point games at Madison Square Garden, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
The Knicks had won eight straight prior to Wednesday's game, including a 38-point blowout of the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. New York falls to 18-13 on the season and 8-8 at home.
Toronto improves to 14-18, picking up just its fourth road win of the season after starting 3-12 away from Scotiabank Arena.
