The consistency off the bench remains an issue, that's for certain, but the stars on this team can certainly play. VanVleet didn't miss a beat on the heels of his Player of the Week honors. He went at the Suns' bigs, trying to isolate them before rising up from deep over Deandre Ayton and Jalen Smith to the tune of 21 points.

He was once again facilitating for the Raptors, drawing double teams, and kicking out to VanVleet and OG Anunoby for open jumpers. When the doubles didn't come, Siakam repeatedly went at Cameron Payne, trying to attack the Suns' guards in the half-court. His hot stretch continued with 22 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists Tuesday. Anunoby, who has been quietest of the three lately, came up huge for Toronto with a team-high 25 points including a driving layup to pull the Raptors to within one point late.

The key for the Raptors late their otherwordly offensive rebounding skills. Toronto simply outmuscled Phoenix in the paint, grabbing offensive rebounds on seemingly every miss.

On one possession, the Raptors scooped up three straight offensive boards before a turnover eventually led to a Bridges layup at the other end. In the fourth quarter alone, Toronto grabbed 12 offensive boards, beating the Suns on the glass by a 59 to 47 margin for the game. Yuta Watanabe and Svi Mykhailiuk shot a combined from the floor, with Watanabe missing a pair of wide-open three-pointers in his first game back from COVID protocols.

The Raptors led by 11 early on, but the Suns rallied to retake the lead in the second quarter and it was a see-saw affair the rest of the way. The Raptors led by two to start the fourth, then a basket by Precious Achiuwa capped a Raptors run that had them up by five with to play.

But back-to-back threes by Crowder and Mikal Bridges punctuated an Suns run for a six-point Phoenix lead with left. Anunoby drilled a three from the corner, then connected on a pair of free throws for a one-point Raptors lead with to play. But baskets by Booker and Paul gave Phoenix a three-point cushion with Clippers, Utah and Charlotte.

The in-game entertainment remains largely the same. Even the giant inflatable Raptor made an appearance. VanVleet led the way with 10 points in a first quarter that saw the Raptors settle down after a shaky start. They went up by 11 points then led to end the quarter.
