Last August, the Toronto Raptors completed their first playoff series sweep in franchise history – and achieved a bit of NBA history along the way. To close out the four-game first-round set against the Brooklyn Nets (who won’t be such an easy out this postseason), the Raps got an NBA-record 100 points from their bench unit along the way to a 150-122 clincher.
Suffice to say, that likely won’t be happening again for Toronto any time soon.
The second unit hit the century mark with contributions from the likes of Norm Powell (29), Serge Ibaka (27), Terence Davis (14) and Matt Thomas (12).
