Raps Immanuel Quickley on Bulls Coby White's 4pt play that tied game & led to OT loss: "It was a mistake I shouldn't make. I've been in the league 5 years now ... [but] my instinct took over 'don't let him get a three' but I got to be better than that. That foul's on me for sure."

Jakob Poeltl remains on a minutes restriction (22 minutes tonight, was +12); Chris Boucher was fine but a DNP, Rajakovic said wanted to give minutes to Mogbo and Robinson.

110-110 at end of 4Q. Gradey goes 1/2 from line with Raptors up three, and then IQ overcrowds Coby White on 3 that only mattered if White hit it and got fouled ... which what happened. Tie game. Raps ran a play for Barnes baseline fade to win with 4 sec left but it landed on top of back board. OT.

It's going to be very hard for the Raptors to hold on the the fifth-best lottery odds if they keep shooting 60% from 3 and count assists on 80% of their field goals. Raps leading Bulls 54-45 w 4:03 left in 2Q.

Agbaji will not return due to sprained right Raptors announce:

Ochai Agbaji was helped off the floor by his teammates but walked to the dressing room on his own so maybe not as bad an ankle sprain as it first seemed. Raptors leading Bulls 17-15 with 6:10 left in 1Q.

Scottie Barnes (hip) is good to go vs. Bulls.

Fun story and honestly upset someone beat me to a story on Raptors-related non-game frivolity.

"I mean, we did talk about the child, but there was bigger things to talk about, know what I'm saying?" ... Raptors vet Garrett Temple is home with family as they expect baby No.3 ... but the conga line must go on. Plans have been made: www.sportsnet.ca/nba/article/...

Scottie Barnes (hip) is questionable vs. Bulls tonight. Nikola Vucevic (calf) is doubtful for Chicago while Jalen Smith (concussion) and Ayo Dosunmo (shoulder) are questionable.

The usual great read for @yourmandevine.bsky.social pointing out how bonkers good the NBA’s best players are playing these days … like you can’t have a historic season and be MVP, you need the MOST. historic. Poor Giannis.

February 27, 1994: After Charles Barkley is tied up by Charles Oakley, Barkley slaps Oakley (who then swings at Barkley), and both are ejected just before halftime in Phoenix. Barkley was later fined $5,000. Oakley was fined $2,000. The Suns defeated the New York Knicks, 92-78. 📺 NBA on NBC

"There are five teams that I think really separate themselves with hard play [in this league] and Toronto is one of those teams" -- the Raptors have a lot of gaps to fill as they try to become relevant again, but effort hasn't been one them this season: www.sportsnet.ca/nba/article/...

Raptors shot 6/27 from three while Indy was 15/36. Haliburton had 33 and was 7/9 from deep. Made up for their 20 TOs.

Raptors fall to Pacers 111-91 to lose their second straight and four in last five. Raptors looked pretty gassed in second half, tbh. Missed Barnes also. Six rappers in double figures, led by IQ with 18. Raptors had 18 TOs too.

Raptors fingers getting a little slippery on the rope here. Some sloppy passes here; a blow by there, and Pacers are out and running. Raptors were keeping it within three possession for most of the 3Q but four TOs in a three-minute span at end of third and Pacers will start 4thQ leading 81-64.

51-41 at half. Raptors are having a hard time manufacturing offence (35% from floor) but have been really competitive defensively. Raptors have seven players with at least four points while Halliburton has 17 for Indy.

26-24 Pacers over Raptors after 1Q. Raptors weathered early fully of Indy 3s and kept in it after falling behind 22-14. Pacers were at home resting yesterday while Raps played Boston and flew after the game. Will be a nice test of Raptors grit factor.
