Mon Nov 18 02:00:00 UTC 2024: ## VanVleet Explodes for Near Triple-Double in Raptors’ Win Over Clippers
**Toronto, ON -** Veteran point guard Fred VanVleet led the Toronto Raptors to a convincing 125-104 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night, showcasing a revitalized offensive performance. VanVleet posted 18 points, seven rebounds, and 10 assists, narrowly missing a triple-double by just three rebounds. He shot an efficient 7-of-15 from the field and 4-of-8 from three-point range in 33 minutes of play, adding two steals to his impressive stat line.
This strong outing marks a significant improvement for VanVleet, who has struggled with his shot throughout the season. While Friday’s game offers a glimmer of hope, his season averages remain at 13.8 points per game, shooting 38% from the field and 30.2% from beyond the arc. The Raptors will be hoping this performance signals a turning point for their key playmaker as the season progresses.
