If that game seemed a bit weird, consider: the Raptors had 19 offensive rebounds (gave up 7); won the turnover battle 22-19 and made more 3s than Washington and still lost. That’s what happens when you shoot 31 % from the floor, I guess. – 11:15 PM

This was tied for the ninth-worst team shooting percentage in Raptors history. Tied for fifth-worst at home. Worst since 2018. Have hit fewer than the seven threes in a game only six times since 2017-18 season. – 11:14 PM

The last time the Raptors won a game with 83 points or fewer? Nov. 13, 2012 (74-72 in Indiana).

PJ Washington was AWESOME on that final possession bodying up Domantas Sabonis. Forced him into such a tough shot. He’s going to be such a critical player for them long-term as a small 4/5 who can play in late-game playoff spots. Really useful player. – 9:36 PM
