There weren’t very many Raptors in the game, and the ones who were often had to play out of position and got away with it.
Gary Trent Jr. hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to give the Raptors a 103-101 win over the Washington Wizards on Monday that was simply delightfully improbable.
Trent, who had limped off the court at the end of the first quarter, gobbled up a rebound and went about two-thirds of the way down the floor before drilling the game-winner in Tampa.
Toronto was reduced to nine available bodies after Fred VanVleet was ruled out with a left hip injury.
