Here are 10 takeaways from the Toronto Raptors’ 105-104 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
One — Giveaway: It’s becoming a trend for the Raptors to capitulate in the fourth quarter. This was a carbon copy of their losses to Oklahoma City and Portland, where the Raptors cruised along for three quarters, only to lose in narrow fashion at the end. San Antonio trailed by as many as 18, before launching a 27-4 run to reassert control. The Raptors made a comeback push but ultimately fell short.
Two — Rusty: Pascal Siakam returned after a three-week absence, and wasn’t at his best.
