The Toronto Raptors visit the Fieldhouse tonight as the Pacers try once again to move their record over the .500 mark. The Raptors are usually a nightmare torturing the Pacers by pounding the nets from the perimeter. Maybe Kareem Rush will maintain his stroke and help the Pacers trade blows if necessary. Bruno's Scouting Report has more on Rush and the game. .
