IT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT SPORTS EVENT OF THE DAY!
Okay, that joke got old very fast — BUT the Raptors did manage to pull out their second win of the season against the Detroit Pistons. I’ll go through it quickly, so you can get back to Rihanna watching and chicken wing eating.
It was an interesting lineup to start, with OG Anunoby and Gary Trent Jr. both out with injury, and Nick Nurse missing the game due to personal reasons. Adrian Griffin opted to start Fred VanVleet, Scottie Barnes, Pascal Siakam, Precious Achiuwa, and Jakob Poeltl.
The Raptors got off to an energetic start, but their early game push was mostly thanks to Fred VanVleet, who started off his game by scoring 3-3 from three.
