Familiar issues cropped up in a loss to a familiar opponent, with rebounding and three point shooting sending the Indiana Pacers into their latest alternating loss, dropping to the Toronto Raptors on the road. From the outset, the Pacers had no answer for the familiar rebounding dominance from Jonas Valanciunas, leading to four extra points in an eight point first quarter.
The Pacers never truly recovered from that start, trailing by double figures at half and never cutting it closer than 12 in the second half. The Raptors limped into this game offensively, but had no issues breaking out of that slump against the Pacers.
