Last night’s game was both the Raptors’ best win of the season, and the strangest of the year. Down their premier wing defender in OG Anunoby and up against a historically great collection of offensive talent, Kyle Lowry and Pascal Siakam led the way to an upset win with 63 combined points, taking advantage of the Nets’ lack of interior defense in the process. And even with solid numbers from bench players like one-time sixth-man Kevin Durant, the Raptors’ stifling star-player defense managed to hold James Harden and Kyrie Irving to 32 combined points while forcing them into 10 turnovers.
