Reservist Svi Mykhailiuk scored 16 points, as did Fred VanVleet.
« I would say we are developing a yes chemistry (reservists), » Mykhailiuk said. No one plays selfishly. «
OG Anunoby provided 15 points, including three three-pointers.
Gary Trent and Montrealer Chris Boucher each added eight points.
Khem Birch, also of Montreal, notably made a dunk which gave an 89-84 cushion to the visitors, on an offensive rebound.
“The reservists have been exceptional,” said VanVleet. This is what we want, for several players to contribute.
“Svi, I knew he has talent (before he joined Toronto in August). I went through Wichita State, so I followed a lot what was going on with the University of Kansas (where the Ukrainian was playing). «
A long three-point shot from VanVleet brought the score to 92-84 in favor of the Raptors, with 1:42 on the clock.
Two Barnes free throws brought the score to 97-94, then Domantas Sabonis missed the mark in the Pacers’ last hope shot.
