In their second-to-last game of the season, the Toronto Raptors visited the Dallas Mavericks for their first matchup since the blockbuster trade that sent Luka Doncic packing in exchange for Anthony Davis. With the playoff picture in the West heating up, Dallas saw this as a must-win game, playing with rhythm and aggression from outset. Toronto wasn’t able to match it, and fell to the Mavericks 124-102.
Despite the loss, Toronto had strong performances from Ochai and Scottie, who managed to carry much of the offence throughout the game. Ochai finished with 24 points and 6 rebounds, going an astonishing 6/7 from long range and 9/12 from the field overall.
