The Toronto Raptors were unpleasantly surprised by the Sacramento Kings in Sunday afternoon’s matchup. The visitors were brilliant in the first half, draining shots from everywhere. For example, their seventh of twelve 3-balls was heaved by George Hill from the other side of the time line as the halftime buzzer sounded…off the glass and in.
Coach Dwane Casey surely let his charges know how disappointed he was in their defense. 63 points allowed to the lowest scoring team in the NBA – is this a joke? They took the message to heart, and to the floor. The Raptors allowed 30 points in the second half.
