Jonas Valanciunas Just Misses a Double-Double Against Memphis
7 years agoToronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas waged war on Marc Gasol on Sunday, who the Raptors were reportedly interested in trading for earlier in the season. Valanciunas attempted to show his front office that they have no reason to look anywhere else in this one, as he scored 12 points on 5-for-8 shooting with yet another basket coming from downtown. He dominated the glass against the Grizzlies and though he couldn't come away with the double-double, he still finished with a game-high nine boards in the win. JV added three assists and a block in the contest, while showing off his ball security with just one turnover on the night. Valanciunas has looked like a different player as of late and the patience owners showed early-on has really begun to pay dividends.
