The Toronto Raptors offered a constant collective effort to earn a 112-105 victory against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night.
The Raptors used their individual strength to get the better of the explosive duo of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Durant reached the 30-point plateau, but he needed 30 shots (11 in 30) to get there. Booker had an outing to forget being limited to two successes on 12 attempts from the perimeter for a meager total of 8 points, his lowest total of the season.
Scottie Barnes (23 points and 7 rebounds) and Pascal Siakam (22 points and 9 rebounds) used their strengths under the basket, while Dennis Schroder made the task easier for his team with 12 assists.
However, the Raptors had suffered a disappointing loss in Brooklyn the day before before setting foot in Toronto at 4 a.m. In contrast, the Suns had just won their last seven games and came to Canada well rested.
The Raptors took a seven-point lead after the first quarter and found a way to defend their priority the rest of the game.
