Josh Lewenberg: Pascal Siakam, asked if he could hear DeMar DeRozan’s daughter when he was at the free throw line last night: “I think so, yeah.” Was she a distraction? “I don’t know. I couldn’t tell. We’ve played enough games where people do stuff while you’re at the free throw line, so I don’t think so.”
