Khem Birch Notches Double-Double In Tuesday's Loss
4 years agoToronto Raptors center Khem Birch showed off double-double form on Tuesday, finishing a 116-103 loss to the Nets with 13 points and a game-high 14 rebounds. He shot 5-for-9 from the field and 3-for-4 at the charity stripe while handing out one assist and delivering one block in 33 minutes of action. Birch quickly moved into the starting five when he arrived in Toronto, and the Canadian has been solid with his work, getting 9.8 points and 7.1 rebounds a night with 1.4 blocks and 58.7 percent shooting. He can take advantage of Nikola Jokic's lackluster defense next when Toronto faces Denver on Thursday. Opposing centers are shooting 56 percent from the field against the Nuggets this season, only six other sides have been more generous towards the position.
