Toronto Raptors
Monday’s loss will hurt more than most given how it came about. Toronto led the majority of the game but in the final 1:15 they imploded thanks in part to Scott Foster but still on the road a team needs to keep their composure.
Here’s the series of events that went down in a little over a minute:
- Scottie Barnes was called for a foul that Nick Nurse challenged and lost (it was a weak call with both players locking arms but the MVP is winning that 99 out of 100 times).
- Jokic fouled Barnes, Michael Malone challenged and won erasing free throws
- Jakob Poeltl was called for a watery foul under the basket and Scott Foster (who was no where near Barnes) rushed over and assessed Barnes with a tech that somehow tossed him from the game. Referee Robert Hussey seemed just as confused as the Raptors for why Barnes was tossed.
- Denver attempted NINE free throws in the final 1:15 (in the prior 46:45 they attempted 14).
Stats
On offense, the Raptors score 112.6 points per game ranking 23rd while shooting 45.4% from the field and 33.6% from the perimeter ranking 27th and 28th respectively.
Meanwhile, defensively, the Raptors allow 112.1 points per game ranking seventh best with opponents shooting 49.0% from the field and 37.7% from deep ranking 27th and 29th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Otto Porter Jr., SF (OUT for season — foot)
- Christian Koloko, Dalano Banton, Jeff Dowtin Jr., Ron Harper Jr., and Joe Wieskamp are all on G League assignment
LA Clippers
The losing streak was halted at five, but the victory to end it was against a Memphis team missing their superstar and core contributors and LA still barely eeked out the victory.
Stats

Opponents average 113.0 points per game ranking 13th lowest overall while allowing opponents to shoot 47.4% from the field and 36.5% from the perimeter ranking 15th and 19th respectively.

Although the Clippers have struggled since returning from the break getting back Ivica Zubac makes a big difference and Kawhi Leonard always finds extra motivation to beat his former squads.
How Toronto responds immediately following a game they felt was stolen will say a lot about them.
