Pre-season game was so much more to Raptors players and fans after 19 months away

It might have been just a pre-season game, but to the Toronto Raptors and their fans, Monday night's pre-season opener against the visiting Philadelphia 76ers felt like so much more.

The Raptors were home -- finally.

OG Anunoby scored 21 points to lead the Raptors 123-107 over the Sixers, a triumphant return in Toronto's first game at Scotiabank Arena in 584 days.

Justin Champagnie added 17 points, while Scottie Barnes, Precious Achiuwa and Svi Mykhailiuk had 13 points apiece, and Yuta Watanabe finished with 10.

Andre Drummond topped the Sixers with 19 points.
