The Raptors got ahead and got ahead early. It was weird. There wasn’t much to criticize, it was the Raps doing what they do best, running the ball and finding openings in the defense, playing with energy, and hitting their shots. The Pacers are trying to hold onto 8^th spot in the East, but didn’t look the part in this loss to the lowly Raptors who came into this one 30 games below .500. Barbosa won this game for the Raps with a sporadic eruption of 29 points off the bench, a season high for the Brazilian guard. Granger and Hansborough had good games, but a collection of talent from Toronto overcame Bargnani’s 1-13 FG, 0-6 3P. Ed Davis had 12 points, 13 rebounds, Reggie had 16 boards and no shot attempts, James Johnson, DeRozan, and Calderon were all solid and Barbosa was spectacular. Complete win from the Raptors.
