Raptors catch fire from three, claim first pre-season win over Kings
"The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the New York Yankees to move on to the American League Championship Series, the Toronto Maple Leafs took down their original six rivals Montreal Canadiens, in their season opener, and the Toronto Raptors capped off the sports-filled Wednesday night with a 130-122 win over the Sacramento Kings. The Raptors, more specifically, Brandon Ingram, came out firing right from the tip."
"It would flip into Sacramento's favour, however, as the speed of the game picked up. The Kings responded with a 13-2 scoring run to take back a four-point lead, before a third Ingram long bomb ended a nearly three-minute scoring drought for the Raptors. A little bit later, a fourth Ingram three would cap off a 14-point first quarter, sparking a 19-9 scoring run to end the opening frame, as Toronto held a 36-27 lead into quarter No.2."
"The first four minutes of the second quarter were back-and-forth, with Toronto barely outscoring Sacramento 10-9, with a couple of Gradey Dick layups, an RJ Barrett three, and four Sabonis points mixed in. The rest of the frame, Toronto basically got whatever they wanted offensively, a theme that continued all night. Another Barrett three and a Sandro Mamukelashvili triple capped a fantastic shooting half from Toronto, finishing 11-for-20 from distance (55 per cent), taking a 65-52 lead into the break."
The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the New York Yankees to move on to the American League Championship Series. The Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Montreal Canadiens in their season opener. The Toronto Raptors overcame the Sacramento Kings 130-122, led early by Brandon Ingram's multiple three-pointers and mid-range scoring. Sacramento rallied with a 13-2 run, but Ingram's shooting capped a 14-point first quarter and Toronto led 36-27 after one. Toronto shot 11-for-20 from three (55 per cent) and held a 65-52 halftime lead. Collin Murray-Boyles and Ja'Kobe Walter sparked a third-quarter surge.
