Former Duke basketball one-and-done Gary Trent Jr. helped snap the Toronto Raptors' 10-game losing streak with a season-high 31-point effort on Friday night.
The month of March was not kind to the Toronto Raptors. They finished just 1-14 and ended the month on a 13-game losing streak, adding two more to losses in the first week of April. But former Duke basketball guard Gary Trent Jr. did his best to turn things around in his first appearance this month.Facing one of the league’s top teams on the road, Trent tied his season-high with 31 points to help the struggling Raptors snap their 15-game losing streak and knock off the Eastern Conference No.
It marked Trent's 12th straight double-digit scoring output, as the 2018 second-round pick has been a consistent performer despite his team’s struggles. Friday’s 31-point outing is the third time he’s reached that mark in the past month, and it's the fourth time he’s eclipsed the 30-point threshold since the beginning of March.RJ Barrett, Trent's Toronto teammate and another former Duke basketball standout, also had a productive outing for the Raptors.
