Jonas Valanciunas the lone bright spot for Raptors on Wednesday
Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas played only 20 minutes off the bench on Wednesday, but was incredibly efficient, scoring 23 points on 10-of-13 shooting while adding five rebounds as the Raptors were dismantled 125-103 by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
What It Means:
Valanciunas started in Game 1, but after getting blown out in that one, he was moved to the bench for Game 2, as he was in the Raptors' first-round series against the Milwaukee Bucks. He is averaging 10.6 points and 6.8 rebounds in 20.9 minutes per game in the playoffs.
Valanciunas also led Raptors players, by a pretty significant margin, with an 18.6 nERD in Wednesday's loss, per numberFire Live.
