Raptors Offense Leads The Way To Victory

INDIANA -- The Indiana Pacers got a different look at the Toronto Raptors at home, the same team that they managed to beat easily by a score of 89-79 to kick start the season. Since that opening night win for the Pacers, the season has been a total failure. They have gone 1-5 in the last six games since their opening night win, bringing their overall record to 2-5. The Raptors though, have learned from their opening night loss, with coach Dwayne Casey getting to know his players better, the Raptors have surprised everyone by starting the season first atop the standings with a 5-2 record, coincidentally the opposite of the Pacers.

The Raptors showed why they�re first in the league by putting up a season high 124 points, beating the Pacers by a score of 124-119 on the road. Kyle Lowry picked up a double-double with 13 assists to go along with 13 points. Rudy Gay was the best of the starting lineup, putting up 25 points and picking up 7 rebounds. But the night belonged to rookie Terrence Ross, who put up career highs in points (27) and minutes (22). Ross, the recent top overall pick for the Raptors, was lights out from the beyond the arc as he went 5-5 in three pointers, leading to 25 of his points on the night before he finished off his performance with a strong one-handed dunk.

The Pacers offense was led by power forward David West and center Roy Hibbert. Both recorded 22 points with 9 and 8 rebounds, respectively. Point guard George Hill matched a season high in assists with 12 and and was second on the team with 17 points.

The Raptors continue their road trip as they will head to Boston to take on Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo and the Boston Celtics. You can catch all of the action right here on ESPN.
