The Toronto Raptors started out on fire. Jonas Valanciunas could not be stopped and the team jumped out to an early 18-point lead. While the Raptors lead did slowly dwindle to just seven at the end of the first, the scoring did not. After just one-quarter the Raptors put up 35 points, with seven different players hitting at least one bucket.
The second quarter was played to a draw. With JV only able to play three minutes due to foul trouble, the Raptors lacked a true inside presence and the scoring started to slow, with Toronto only putting up 25 in the second frame.
