The Raptors beat a team they were supposed to beat. Congratulations! Less facetiously, the Raptors took care of business against the Grizzlies, Brandon Ingram<\/a>, RJ Barrett, and Collin Murray-Boyles<\/a> shone. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the recap: <\/p>\n

And here\u2019s the quick recap<\/a>: <\/p>\n

Three Things:<\/p>\n

1\u00a0\u2013 Early on there were some weird offensive fouls called on the Raptors on would-be buckets. The Raptors were really shaken up by the refereeing, though, which was probably more harmful than the actual calls. Even when the calls went their way, it was just a slow game that couldn\u2019t get a rhythm for the first 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

2\u00a0\u2013 Toronto\u2019s defence was fairly solid, even before the turnover parade started in the second. It forced tough shots, which the Grizzlies made often enough. It cleaned the glass. It did well. Even though Toronto wasn\u2019t building a lead for much of the first half, it was at least setting the stage for a lead eventually becoming a reality.<\/p>\n

3 \u2013 RJ Barrett\u00a0\/ A+ \/ 25 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, 4-of-6 from deep<\/p>\n

A\u00a0fantastic game. He wasn\u2019t forcing too much, as he has in some recent contests, but he was still putting his head down at times and reaching the paint. That was a good thing. In the second quarter, he stampeded a catch and finished a push shot. The shooting was obviously a huge plus, and he even hit a stepback triple midway through the second.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Raptors beat a team they were supposed to beat.
