The Toronto Raptors kicked off a road trip by facing off with the Indiana Pacers in a tough loss. Playing the second night of a back-to-back against a team with a rest advantage was enough of a challenge, even before considering the speed with which the Pacers play. They’ll end the season series with them 2-1 after wins in November and December.
Toronto was without Scottie Barnes, but the return of Jakob to the roster helped bolster the front court. Darko went deep into the bench tonight, with 10 players all seeing significant minutes. Quickley led the team in scoring, finishing with 18-2-6 with some creative offence around the rim.
