It was a bizarre game \u2026 the Raptors are the worst-shooting team in the league, but had one of the best-shooting games in the NBA this year, paced by a career game from Immanuel Quickley. The Warriors, meanwhile, played decently but couldn\u2019t score much beyond tremendous contributions from Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Here\u2019s a look at how Dub Nation viewed the action in real time, as seen through comments from the Golden State of Mind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldenstateofmind.com\/warriors-game-previews\/107517\/how-to-watch-warriors-vs-raptors\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">game thread<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>First quarter: \u2018Kuminga should be starting\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It was a brutal opening act, as the Warriors fell behind 10-0 and later 28-10. The Raptors couldn\u2019t miss, and led 41-28 after one.<\/p>\n<p>Second quarter: \u2018JK sighting\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Kuminga entered to start the second quarter, playing for the first time in over a month. The deficit would balloon to 28, with the Warriors trailing 70-50 at halftime.<\/p>\n<p>Third quarter: \u2018JK coming back to life\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It was very ugly for much of the third quarter, with the Raptors\u2019 lead expanding to 30 points. But they ended with a bunch of energy and highlights, primarily from Hield and Kuminga, who were fantastic. They got back into the game, trailing 108-94 entering the fourth.<\/p>\n<p>Fourth quarter: \u2018Making it a game!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Warriors made things interesting, but couldn\u2019t maintain it. Toronto was just too hot, and coasted to a blowout win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Golden State Warriors lost on Tuesday night, ending their extended home stand with a 145-127 loss to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":552060,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3770],"tags":[7,64551,6,681,680,476,3820],"class_list":{"0":"post-552059","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-toronto-raptors","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-golden-state-warriors-discussion","10":"tag-nba","11":"tag-raptors","12":"tag-toronto","13":"tag-toronto-raptors","14":"tag-torontoraptors"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115935888307555913","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=552059"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552059\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/552060"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=552059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=552059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=552059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
