SALT LAKE CITY—The Raptors attempted 27 more field goals than the Utah Jazz, forced 16 turnovers while committing only seven and set a season high with 25 offensive rebounds.
They got nothing out of it.
Unable to handle a pair of Jazz seven-footers and incapable of holding their own when the game was played at any normal tempo, the Raptors dropped a 131-128 decision to the Jazz on Wednesday night. It’s another nail in the coffin that will ultimately hold the remains of this season.
Despite the second triple-double of Fred VanVleet’s career — 34 points, 10 assists, 12 rebounds — Toronto’s half-court defence couldn’t hold back the Jazz.
