Down the stretch, it was the Jerryd Bayless vs John Wall show. These two young guards put on a show at the Verizon center, and Raptors fans across the globe can’t help but smile.
Bayless brought the Raptors back into the game, who trailed by as much as 17. Bayless caught fire in the fourth and drilled multiple threes, sending the game to overtime.
The Raps offence had a drought in overtime, unfortunately. Considering they’re on a back to back this is understandable, and the game came down to Jose Calderon missing an extremely deep 3 for the tie. A few key missed boards also settled the Raptors fate in this one, and it will certainly be a tough loss to swallow for the discouraged young squad.
Andrea Bargnani was out and still has no timetable to return.
