Not quite halfway through the second quarter of Saturday’s Showdown between this year’s Beasts of the East, C’s rookie Semi Ojeleye fumbled away an offensive rebound of his own missed layup. An offensive foul and 24-second violation – along with the obligatory Brad Stevens Time-out – became the team’s third “3 TO’s in a row” in two games. (An ugly 10-TO Q3 against Utah included two such “three-fers.”)
Fortunately, the nervous Raptors could squeeze but two points from the three miscues.
Impressively, Brad’s boys played their next 34 possessions turnover-free.
Almost unfathomably, those two points, courtesy of a Jonas Valanciunas FG, were Toronto’s only “Points After a Turnover” for the game!
