KYLE LOWRY. B-. To go ahead and get the negative out of the way, <a href=. Point Guard. Toronto Raptors

Despite being tied with Ibaka for the team lead in points, this game can definitely be referred to as “The Terence Davis Game”. Raptors faithful has already warmed up to the hard-working, undrafted rookie out of Ole Miss but if not, he certainly won them over in his 1st career start. Davis scored a career-high 23 points on 50-percent shooting (3-for-3 FT) and grabbed 11 rebounds. He also chipped in five assists, a steal, didn’t commit a single turnover and finished a team-high +20 on the floor. A big-time, almost flawless performance for the rook in his first start.. Shooting Guard. Toronto Raptors. TERENCE DAVIS. A+

While this game was ultimately a nice bounce-back win for the Toronto Raptors, it was also (personally) a nice bounce-back game for <a href=. Small Forward. Toronto Raptors. OG ANUNOBY. A

Center. Toronto Raptors. SERGE IBAKA. A+. The only player on the Toronto Raptors who was on Terence Davis’ level in Tuesday’s contest was Ibaka. In just under 40 minutes Ibaka had a 23-point, 11-rebound double-double. What was most impressive about the effort was that Ibaka actually started the game off slow, shooting 1-for-5 in the first half. Ibaka exploded in the second half, scoring 15 points (7-for-11 FG) and tallying two blocks. And to top it off Ibaka and Davis, with six points apiece, scored all 12 of the Raptors points in OT to lead them to the win.
