The Delaware Blue Coats opened their season on Saturday, hosting the Toronto Raptors G-League affiliate Raptors 905 in Wilmington. The game proved to be a worthy escape for disheartened Sixers fans, as the Blue Coats and Raptors 905 went back-and-forth for 48 minutes. Undrafted free agent and two-way wing Justin Edwards led the cavalry with 28 points, but it would be a last second buzzer-beating three-pointer from 905’s Tyreke Key that would be the difference in a 116-115 defeat for Delaware.
The Blue Coats’ season opener had four quarters which all tell a different story.
