Toronto’s not going up or down in the standings with eight more games remaining. So, what happens now?
The Raptors further cemented their place in the draft lottery standings with a 108-97 victory over the visiting Charlotte Hornets. Jakob Poeltl led the way with 24 points, 12 rebounds, and an uber-efficient 12-for-14 shooting. Scottie Barnes chipped in with another well-rounded performance, 18 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists, while Immanuel Quickley had 19 points and 9 assists, draining 5-of-8 from downtown.
The chain, however, would go to Jamal Shead. Maybe it’s a gift for the Cougar alum before his alma mater had an important Sweet 16 game against Purdue.
