Live broadcast, January 22 -today’s NBA regular season, Raptors 104-106 lost Celtics.
After the game, Raptors coach Nass talked about the absence of Van frit, and the team let Barnes hit the point guard more. In the 5th and 6th matches before that, Barnes arranged more matches with the center, using his mobility to open the space, and also using his power to attack players shorter than him. NAS said: “This (point guard) is almost the opposite role, compared with the center role he has been playing before.”
“But I think he enjoys this part of the work very much, and he did a good job there. I think he really showed good leadership in organizing attacks and played a role in the competition, and all these things. So I like him playing point guard, and he seems to adapt well in this position.”
In this game, Barnes scored 4 in 9 shots (2 in 3-pointer 2) and got 10 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 cap.
