Fred VanVleet and the Raptors shook off a slow start and an early 13-point deficit in rallying to Friday’s comfortable road victory over the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center, 117-111 (box score).
VanVleet led the Raptors (24-30) with a game-high 32 points on Friday, including 10-of-22 from the field (45.5%) and 5-of-11 on 3-pointers (45.5%). Toronto hit 15-of-39 from 3-point range (38.5%) as a team, which gave them a significant math advantage versus the Rockets, who shot just 7-of-21 (33.3%) from distance.
