Scottie Barnes leads the way in rock solid team win vs. streaking Suns

In Episode 1525, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' 112-105 win over Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns to snap the Suns' 7-game winning streak. Off the top, Sean digs into an impressive effort from Scottie Barnes who put the brakes on his recent slump with a killer second half, taking the baton from Pascal Siakam after his strong first half. This was the first option / second option dynamic you're looknig for as Barnes ascends to his station atop the team's hierarchy. Next, Sean chats about the other Raptors who chipped in lunch bucket efforts, from Dennis Schroder embodying the point guard role beautifully, to O.G. Anunoby going toe-to-toe with Kevin Durant, Jakob Poeltl simply never missing while providing a sturdy backbone for the defense, and Precious Achiuwa with a truly grimy effort on the boards. Lastly, Sean runs through the Good (a glorious sequence from the second quarter), the Bad (the Scottie with bench lineups, until they turned out to be Good), and the Hmmmm (the baffling case of this team playing well vs. the best teams and not so well vs. the dregs) to round out the show.
