On a night when the Toronto Raptors’ shooting was dismal, Bismack Biyombo owned the glass. He set a team record with 25 rebounds, and kept the visitors close in a game they would ultimately win.
First Half
The Raptors frequently stumble against opponents in the NBA’s Central Division, and the first half against the Indiana Pacers was another example. Toronto started well enough, and a 14-2 run pushed them in front by 8. The margin was two at quarter-end.
The second quarter was excruciating; I suspect the first words out of DeMar DeRozan’s mouth when he got to the dressing room were: “We sucked”.
