6 years agoToronto Raptors power forward/center Serge Ibaka recorded his third straight double-double on Friday, but it was not enough as his club lost by two points to the Rockets. Ibaka scored 14 points on five of 10 shooting and gathered 12 rebounds before fouling out in 32 minutes of action. Ibaka managed just five double-doubles prior to this run of three straight and rebounding is definitely what the Raps have needed since Jonas Valanciunas (hand) went down, especially with the Raps often rolling out small-ball lineups. Ibaka has come to life this season and owners have to be pleased with drafting the veteran big man.--Gianni Costantiello
