After a gritty win in Detroit, the Toronto Raptors won their second straight game, defeating the Indiana Pacers 116-91, as seven players scored in double figures.
In a showdown of the top two defensive teams since the All-Star Break, the Raptors began the game looking a step slow on both ends of the floor. Indiana started the game strong, going on a small 8-0 run behind the play of Thaddeus Young and C.J. Miles. It didn’t take long for Serge Ibaka to remind us just how much he adds to this team, as he personally responded to the Pacers run with a single sequence which included a made three, defending Jeff Teague on a switch, forcing a miss at the rim, followed up with another made 3 pointer.
