On Thursday night, the Raptors triumphantly toppled Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins, ending the Pelicans’ win streak and beginning one of their own. Kudos to the Raptors’ big men — limiting the opposing frontcourt giants to poor shooting nights is a difficult feat to accomplish. Allowing Jrue Holiday to pour in 34 points, 11 assists and 5 rebounds was certainly less than ideal, but naturally, the Raptors’ defensive holes had to show themselves somewhere. Even still, Kyle Lowry got his mojo back, at least for the time being, shooting 40% from three with sizeable volume (10 attempts).
