"Fans at Scotiabank Arena and at home - those who weren't locked in on the Toronto Blue Jays' unfortunate Game 5 collapse - got to see a bit of everything from the Raptors, who were led by Scottie Barnes' all-around effort. The fifth-year forward finished with a team-high 31 points on 10-of-15 shooting to go with six rebounds, four assists, three steals and a block."
"For those who were concerned by Barnes' shot diet and overall offensive process during the exhibition schedule (he was 6-of-30 from the field and had shot 3-of-10 in the paint until Friday), it was a reminder of the 24-year-old's prowess. And for those like Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic, seeing that type of performance from Barnes was never a matter of if, just when. "Nothing really changes, I know who Scottie is, I know what Scottie can bring," the bench boss explained post-game."
The Toronto Raptors closed the preseason with a 119-112 victory over the Brooklyn Nets. Scottie Barnes produced a team-high 31 points on 10-of-15 shooting, adding six rebounds, four assists, three steals and a block. Barnes scored all his made field goals in the paint, drew 12 free throws and converted 11, including two late free throws that regained the lead. Brandon Ingram contributed 13 points, six rebounds and three steals while creating a late scoring opportunity. Coach Darko Rajakovic noted Barnes is finding his rhythm and called the performance encouraging for the team.
