The Toronto Raptors now take on the Washington Wizards at the Air Canada Center. This game was very close as the Raptors extend their win streak to 2 for the 104-101 win. I'll start of with the man in the center, Jonas Valanciunas As this is his 3rd NBA game, Valanciunas looks like he is getting in the groove of things, scoring 8 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks. Valanciunas match up was against Emeka Okafor, as his only scored 11 points, 5 rebounds and a blocked shot. Unfortunately, their number 8 pick, Terrence Ross, was not able to play due to injury, hindering any preparation for the fast approaching season opener. John Wall of the Wizards, did not play due to a stress in his right knee. Kyle Lowry however, was finally back from injury, as he didn't disappoint, scoring 16 points, 6 assist and 3 steals. Lowry's back up, Jose Calderon did pretty well, scoring 12 points, 8 assist and 2 steals. The 3rd string back up, John Lucas, did not have a great game, because of a lack of minutes, scoring 5 points, 3 assists. Landry Fields was the leading scorer for the Raptors , scoring 15 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. The next opponent for the Raptors are against the New York Knicks.
