Powell gets call when Raptors hit Wall

Raptor Norman Powell pounces on rare shot at impact minutes in win over John Wall and Wizards.

After four minutes of court time all season, Norman Powell stepped in off the bench and helped the Raptors beat the Wizards on Wednesday night.

He’s not sitting in the firehall with his suspender pants and a dirty white T-shirt on, but Norman Powell’s role with the Toronto Raptors is very much like that of an on-duty fireman.

Life can be quiet for stretches. He had played a combined four minutes through the Raptors’ first three games, the equivalent of pulling a cat out of a tree.
