NBA 2018-19: 3 talking points from Denver Nuggets' win over Toronto Raptors

#2 Poor ball movement from the Raptors

Kawhi Leonard didn't get support from his teammates

The Raptors have now lost two straight games in the absence of their point guard, Kyle Lowry. Lowry is the assist leader this season and the Raptors missed his playmaking in this match.

The Raptors are one of the top passing teams in the league; they rank number 7th in the league when it comes to assists per game. But they struggled to move the ball in this match. They finished the match with only 13 assists, which is way below their season average of 25.3 assists per game.

Leonard had another good outing for the Raptors, finishing with a game-high 29 points on 12-21 shooting from the floor. But the other players simply failed to support him; only three Raptor players scored in double figures in this match.

The Raptors next face the Indiana Pacers at home, which promises to be another great encounter.
