The Toronto Raptors keep scoring – and scoring – and scoring. This time it was a 123 point effort lead by the team’s leading scorer, DeMar DeRozan with 31 points on an efficient 11 for 18 shooting performance in only 29 minutes. That wasn’t all. Lowry had a typical all-around game scoring 20 points with 7 assists and 4 rebounds while Valanciunas chipped in with a 17 point, 10 rebound performance.
Surprisingly competitive early
Coming off a game in which Toronto laid an absolute beat-down on the Milwaukee Bucks, this was a classic ‘trap’ game for Toronto.
