The Toronto Raptors believe Scottie Barnes is one of the league's best defenders and his performance on Sunday against Kevin Durant certainly proved it

The Toronto Raptors dominated the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night and the driving force behind that was Scottie Barnes. The Raptors star led an impressive 127-109 victory over the Suns in the comforts of Scotiabank Arena.

Payton Pritchard scored 20 points and Jayson Tatum had 19 points and 11 assists as the Celtics improved to 24-6 on the road. RJ Barrett scored 22 points and Scottie Barnes had 21 but the Raptors lost for the seventh time in their past nine.

Coming out of the All-Star festivities, the Raptors' opponents for the rest of the season combined for a measly .398 winning percentage. Having matched up with some of the biggest remaining teams on their schedule, that number has gone down even more dramatically.
