Raptors roll to easy win over Spurs as Porter makes debut Via WolstatSun
Porter came off the bench in a 143-100 Raptors laugher, Toronto’s second emphatic victory this week, following a 30-point pasting of Atlanta. The team fell two points shy of setting a new franchise-record for points in a game.
Following a tight first quarter, Toronto completely controlled the game. San Antonio was significantly short-handed, missing leading scorers Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell due to injuries, and the result was dreadful shooting and 23 turnovers leading to 31 Raptors points. Porter told TSN he’s been impressed by the “hungry” young guys on the Raptors who “want to be at an elite level” and feels his job is to help get them there.We apologize, but this video has failed to load.VanVleet’s absence meant another start for rookie centre Christian Koloko. It was Koloko’s third start in eight appearances and came after his best game of this young season against Atlanta .
“I think that the rest of those guys are settled into coming off the bench. Just positionally, he’s our first centre. When something opens up in the starting lineup, he’s probably gonna be starting most of the time,” Nurse explained this week.
