"Leading the team in plus/minus was Scottie Barnes, who finished the night at +14. His full stat line against the 76ers included 16 points on 8-for-17 shooting, nine rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block. Although he did have six turnovers, Barnes continues to make his mark in Raptors history with his ongoing streak of recording at least one steal and one block in consecutive games. On Monday, he surpassed the legendary Vince Carter's record in this category."
"Again, just based on the numbers, it might appear on paper that Barnes is doing the same things as in previous seasons. Currently, he is averaging 19.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.7 blocks in the 15-game sample to date. However, his defensive impact and ability to drive winning - by forcing turnovers on the other end and helping the Raptors push the pace - have set the tone for the successful brand of basketball Toronto is establishing."
Toronto secured a 121-112 win over the Philadelphia 76ers after rallying from a halftime deficit. Scottie Barnes led the team in plus/minus at +14 and recorded 16 points, nine rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block despite six turnovers.

He averages 19.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.7 blocks through 15 games. His defensive impact, transition play, and improved three-point accuracy (38.9%) are driving Toronto's successful style of play.
