The Toronto Raptors led by 13 after the opening 12 minutes, a deficit that proved too big to overcome for the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. Over the final three quarters, the visitors would outscore the hosts by five, one, and three points, respectively, but the Kings were ultimately unable to fully dig out of the hole they built at the beginning of the game.
Toronto was led by Kyle Lowry‘s 24-point performance, along with Pascal Siakam‘s double-double effort, featuring 23 points and 13 rebounds. Serge Ibaka, with 21 points, led the Raptors off the bench.
