'I'll pull that thing down..' - Drake pulls banter on DeMar DeRozan banner

Drake and Kendrick Lamar's feud has long since subsided, but it still persists. When Toronto played the Western Conference team at home on Saturday night, Sacramento Kings star shooting guard DeMar DeRozan felt it with Champagne Papi there. TSN Sports' Kayla Gray reports that during the fourth quarter of the game, Champagne Papi appeared on the network and declared, "If you ever put up a DeRozan banner, I'll pull that thing down myself." 

During the Sacramento game's halftime, the Raptors retired Vince Carter's No. 15 jersey, which is why Drake made the banner allusion. Drake seems to have severed his friendship with DeRozan after the latter made an appearance in K-Dot's "Not Like Us" music video.

DeRozan joked, "Well he's going to have a long way to climb to take it down," in response to a question on Drake's remark following the game, according to Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports. By defeating Sacramento 131–128 in overtime, the Raptors avoided ruining Carter's memorable evening.With 31 points, RJ Barrett led Toronto, followed by Gradey Dick and Ochai Agbaji, who each scored 22 points.

Toronto Raptors defeated Sacramento Kings 

After coming off the bench, Chris Boucher scored 24 points to help Toronto win for the second time this season. The Kings, on the other hand, lost to 3-3 after squandering DeRozan's 33-point fireworks in his former haunts. The Toronto Raptors ended a four-game losing streak on Saturday night by defeating the Sacramento Kings 131–128 in overtime, led by 31 points from RJ Barrett and a season-high 24 from Chris Boucher. Ochai Agbaji of Toronto and Gradey Dick both recorded season-high 22 points.

With 27, DeMar DeRozan scored more than 20 points for the seventh consecutive game since joining Sacramento Kings during the offseason. Before fouling out, Domantas Sabonis recorded his fourth double-double in five games with 15 points and 14 rebounds.
