Raptors' Serge Ibaka: Scores 18 in return from suspension

Ibaka collected 18 points (8-16 FG, 2-2 3Pt), eight rebounds and one assist across 32 minutes during Saturday's 94-86 victory over the Mavericks.

Analysis:

Ibaka's solid stretch of games now extends to four, as the big man was averaging 16.3 points (52.6 percent from the field and 50.0 percent from three) and 6.7 rebounds across just 28.0 minutes per game in his three appearances prior to Saturday. Ibaka is the Raptors' second leading scorer with Kyle Lowry (wrist) out, and should continue to be a focal point of the offense even when Lowry returns.
