It was a night for setting records. Franchise records and career-highs alike were set on Saturday as the Toronto Raptors took down the Cleveland Cavaliers in a dominant 135-115 road win behind Gary Trent Jr.’s 44-point explosion.
Even more impressive, the victory came without the team’s top three scorers.
“Next man up,” Trent said during his walk-off interview. “Everybody came ready to compete. Everybody came locked in. It’s great to get on the winning track and to get a win on the road.”
To say that Trent was on fire would be understating the shooting performance he put on for the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland on Saturday night.
