Raptors come up short in Summer League semifinals

The run is over.

The Toronto Raptors were eliminated in the Summer League semifinals by the Sacramento Kings 98-88.

The Raptors stumbled out of the gate as the Kings built a big lead early. They were up by as many as 22 points at one point. However, the Raptors picked it up defensively in the fourth quarter to make it a game. They blitzed the Kings and forced many turnovers as the lead quickly evaporated. Toronto got within 1 point but the Kings kept responding. They were lead by Isaac Jones who scored a game-high 36 points. He came up clutch for Sacramento down the stretch when they needed a bucket.
