In what was probably their best game of the young season, the Toronto Raptors got outstanding performances from the top down on Tuesday to beat the Houston Rockets, 129-113. Toronto’s win snaps a six-game win streak by the Rockets, the third-longest in the Association.
We’ll get to the usual suspects with the Raptors, but this game was personified — on both ends — by the hustle of rookie OG Anunoby. Earning his first career start with Norman Powell sitting with a hip pointer, Anunoby got the lofty task of guarding James Harden, who was averaging over 38 points and 11 assists during Houston’s win streak.
