What better test for a Raptors’ team looking to find its defensive swagger than the No. 1 offence in the NBA?
They swarmed Kings big man Domantas Sabonis, forcing the ball out of his hands as much as possible and then busting out to shooters to hopefully contain the Kings deadly three-point game when Sabonis gave up the ball.
But a defensive effort isn’t complete against a team as dynamic as the Kings are offensively without running those three-point shooters off the line and that was Fred VanVleet and Gary Trent Jr. doing just that. Between them Achiuwa and Boucher combined for 31 points which was more than the combined total of the five reserves who saw the court for the Kings.
