Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Near triple-double in loss

Barnes posted 16 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 131-108 loss to the Cavaliers.

The franchise cornerstone did it all despite the blowout, racking up stats in every facet of the game en route to his 17th double-double of the year and falling just three assists short of what would've been his second triple-double on the season. It was an encouraging contest for the 23-year-old, as his efficiency had taken a slight hit so far this month given that he was shooting just 38.9 percent from the field in February prior to Wednesday's game, which makes for his worst mark of the season by a good margin. He'll look to keep building on the performance Friday against the Heat.
