(TOR VS NYK) We Lose Again

Toronto sucks right now.

After a blowout against the Hornets, Toronto was looking to put up some sort of fight against the Knicks in the NBA Cup quarter finals. If they won, they would be able to go to Vegas for the semi-final.

That effort was better, but the outcome remained the same. They lost 117-101.

It was a fairly even first quarter, which the Raptors won by four. Jalen Brunson kept New York in it during the first quarter, scoring 20 points in the frame.

Then the usual dreadful offensive stretch happened through the second quarter. The offense dried up, the defense couldn't stop the Knicks, and they got demolished. They scored a measly 13 points and lost the quarter by 21 points. Down seventeen at halftime.

They played better in the last two quarters, but by that time, it was already over. Had they played like that in the second quarter, they might have won the game. But, alas, they did not.

Raptors lose 117-101.

I don't have much to say anymore. I know Barrett is injured long-term, but our offense keeps going ice-cold during games, and we get down by an insurmountable lead. They gotta turn it around soon or we'll drop out of a playoff spot.

We need someone on our bench to step up and do something heroic. They're so useless right now.

Rap of the Night: Brandon Ingram

Over 30 points. The only starter who was good offensively last night.

Next Up: @ Heat

They get some time off now, which they look like they need to be honest. Hopefully, they win.
