Big win tonight against a pretty ugly Brooklyn lineup. Barnes with the first 25/15/5 steal game on 85%+ shooting in NBA history (for a rookie). Nice games from Precious + Malachi Flynn as well. Pascal has been shaky since returning from the break, hope he can get back to his strong play soon, they are going to need him for the stretch run.
Also, saw this tidbit posted in an article on The Ringer, thought others might find it interesting:

Here’s a weird stat I stumbled upon when researching the Raptors: So far this season, 71 NBA players have tried to score out of an isolation play at least 100 times, according to Second Spectrum. OG Anunoby ranks last in efficiency. Fred VanVleet ranks second-to-last. And they’re at the bottom by a wide margin. They’re the only two players scoring under 0.7 points per isolation, according to Second Spectrum. That’s disappointing for Toronto. At the top of the list, you’ll find the usual suspects. Nikola Jokic and DeMar DeRozan rank first and second. Steph Curry and James Harden rank fourth and fifth. But the third-place scorer? Gary Trent Jr.
