An off night for DeMar DeRozan and the absence of Jonas Valanciunas spelled trouble for the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.
DeRozan saw his streak of consecutive 30-plus point games end at five, scoring 23 points in the Raptors’ ugly 96-91 loss to the Sacramento Kings.
Former Raptor Rudy Gay led the Kings (3-5) with 23 points, while DeMarcus Cousins added 22.
Kyle Lowry added 15 points and 10 assists, while rookie Pascal Siakam added 10 points for the Raptors (4-2).
Despite a woeful offensive performance, the Raptors led for most of what was a sleepy affair.
