TORONTO , Jan. 18 (Xinhua) -- Toronto Raptors lost to New Orleans Pelicans 95-93 on Sunday afternoon in NBA action.
The loss was Toronto's seventh in their last nine games, dropping their record to 26-14 on the season.
"We're playing in mud right now," said Raptors head coach Dwayne Casey following the loss in Toronto. "Confidence wise, we have to come out believing that you're going to make a play offensively or defensively."
Toronto struggled in the first half, scoring a season-low 36 points against New Orleans after two quarters.
Down 50-36, Casey replaced third-year player Terrence Ross at the half and started the third quarter with guard Greivis Vasquez.
Vasquez energized Raptors and helped erase the deficit by outscoring New Orleans 35-12 in the quarter and entered the fourth with a 71-64 lead.
Raptors were unable to sustain their third quarter dominance in the final frame , allowing Pelicans to outscore them 31-22 to ultimately win the game.
When asked about the substitution at half time, Casey explained to media that he still has faith in Ross.
"It wasn't all (Terrence) Ross' fault. I think Greivis did a good job in his position and gave us a spark," said Casey. "We are not giving up on him. He's a young man, all young players are always going to be up and down, we just have to help him anyway we can."
In Toronto's first 31 games, Ross averaged 12.1 points on 43% shooting in 28.4 minutes. In the last nine games , Ross' production has dipped to 7.6 points on 33% shooting in 23.9 minutes.
"Whatever it is, we got to get his mojo going because we are playing for something and it's an important time for us to come out of it," said Casey. "We got to fight through it. It's a grind, it's a long season."
Despite the slump, Casey's squad remains in third place in the Eastern Conference and are well-positioned to finish the season with a top-four seed.
When you’re browsing the market of Drain Snake Cables, there’s a lot to take into consideration. What size cable? What kind of jobs will you use it for? The truth is , there is no single “best” Drain Snake Cable, because different cables will work better for different jobs. When shopping for cables, remember that Duraflex has the best on the market. Our cables are made of proprietary, hard-drawn, high tensile strength wire. With all of the cable varieties that we offer, you can stay prepared with Duraflex. That’s why you should know about these four cables!
Number One: The 14” x 100’ Hollow Core Cable
If you want quality , look no further! This is a huge seller, and for good reason. Our hollow cores are available in every cable diameter, and various lengths. These 14” cables are designed to clean drain lines around 1” to 2” in diameter. Typically, you can use these to clean a residential drain line (anything like a bathtub drain or a sink would be a good usage of this product). This is a flexible sewer cable that can fit into tight spaces and turns, the kinds you’d expect when working on someone’s home. If you do a lot of jobs in residential areas, this is the perfect cable for you!
Number Two: The 14” x 37’ Commercial Drain Snake with Nylon Core
It’s no wonder that this fantastic cable is also 14”; that’s our most popular size! That’s probably because , as you know, there’s a lot of residential jobs to be done and a 14” cable is excellent for them. This cable, however, outweighs other Drain Snake Cables in a few ways. While these kinds of cables are already stiffer and more effective against breaking clogs, the inner core cable has a core that increases the rigidness of the cable and makes it easier to push through the toughest drain blockage. When you’re on a residential job, and a hollow core just won’t cut it , you’ll be fully prepared with one of these.
Number Three: The 34” x 110’ Hollow Core Drain Cable
The third cable on our list is going to tackle the bigger jobs. You need to have a strong cable for a tough job, and that’s where 34” cables come in. These cables are sturdier and thicker and can take on serious clogs. If you work on any job that requires tree root removal, you’re going to want this trusty cable by your side. Like all DuraFlex cables, this cable is made in the USA and goes through serious quality checks before and after the manufacturing process. If you need a cable that will fit into our competitors drain machines, you’re in luck. These cables fit into Ridgid, Spartan , General, Gorlitz, and many other competitors’ drain machines.
Number Four: The 1116” x 110’ Inner Core Drain Cable
This heavy-duty cable is the type of monster that can take down any sort of blockage. When you show up to a job with a larger drain line, you want something that’s going to be able to clean hard to reach areas. Having an inner core makes this cable fantastic for clearing out a huge clog. It’s far more rigid than the standard cable and will break through blockages like it’s nothing. These inner core cables are available in all cable diameters and, like all DuraFlex cables, have a 30-day warranty.
