Keys to the Game:
•Win the Battle at the 3
The Raptors shoot 35.7% from three as a team. You can't let them win the battle from three point range. They shot 41.9% from long range against Memphis and won with the final score of 116. Take advantage of Buddy and Bogi's shot.
•Pick up the Pace
The Kings are a team who could probably be better if they had a much higher pace. They are close to the bottom of the league as far as pace goes. The Raptors are top 6 in that category. Match their pace, get out and run.
