IT WAS OVER WHEN
Toronto took an 18-point lead into the final quarter. Indiana didn’t get any closer than 16 in the fourth as Toronto shot its way to a 116-91 victory with seven players reaching double figures.
Shortly after Dwane Casey said his team needed to “take care of home” by coming out strong and beginning the game with force, his team did just that against the Pacers. Shooting 54 percent, the Raptors held the Pacers to just 39 percent shooting, outrebounding Indiana 20-5 in the first quarter. Serge Ibaka shot 4-for-5 from the floor for 10 points while Jonas Valanciunas added eight points and nine rebounds to help fuel the positive start.
