Raptors rout San Lorenzo as regulars sit out in pre-season contest
TORONTO — If Friday night was a test for the Toronto Raptors' backups and newcomers, coach Dwane Casey gave them a failing grade.Fred VanVleet scored 31 points to lead the Raptors in a 122-105 pre-season win over San Lorenzo de Almagro, taking another step closer to clinching his spot on the Raptors' roster.On the second night of back-to-back games, Casey decided to rest his big guns.But the young players got no slack from the coach, who lamented a defensive effort that he called "non-existent.""Our rotations, our tags, our defensive disposition," said Casey.

The Raptors welcome San Lorenzo de Almagro: Preview and Start Time
The Raptors are still trundling through the pre-season with their dogged persistence and 2-2 record.They've been travelling a lot, having played games on the North American west coast, and Cleveland, Ohio.All four of their preseason games have been on the road, in fact.So this turn of events feels like a particularly cruel joke: there is exactly one (1) true home game for the Raptors this pre-season, it is tonight, and it is against the Argentinean championship team San Lorenzo de Almagro, a team not of the NBA.

Raptors defeat San Lorenzo 122-105 during Baseball Night in Canada
While the entire city of Toronto was watching the Blue Jays on televisions across the GTA, the ACC played host to its first game of the season with the Raptors "B" team (Surely the starters and rotation guys hung around in Cleveland for Game 1) taking on San Lorenzo de Almagro from Buenos Aires.After taking my seat in section 305 and realizing none of the regulars would be touching the floor, I made a bold prediction:Fred Van Vleet dropping 40 tonight pic.twitter.com/ce8bCC8Qxa — Mitch Robson (@_mitchrobson) October 14, 2016The luck of that prediction bodes well for my pro-line ticket tomorrow, as Van Vleet nearly reached 40, dropping 31 points on 12/19 from the floor and 5/7 from the free throw line.He also added five assists and rebounds as well as a steal to stuff the stat sheet in a game that should bode well in his chances to earn that 15th roster spot come the end of preseason.Norm Powell looked the part of a legit NBA rotation player, easily slicing to the rim for a few highlight dunks on his night.
