Toronto Raptors fans must have felt conflicted on Sunday night. On one hand, the Raptors lost a tight game to the New York Knicks, hurting their chances at sneaking into the playoffs. But on the other hand, the Knicks were winning because of a top-notch performance from RJ Barrett, one of Canada’s brightest young basketball stars.
His 19 points on 12 shots, five assists against no turnovers, and dagger three in the final minute are proof-positive that he’s a budding star. Most Raptors fans are going to enjoy watching Barrett do stuff like this for Canada Basketball.
