Gary Trent Jr. since his move to the bench a month ago: 12 games (2 starts), 17.6 points, 50% FG, 43% 3P.
He’s been great lately, and he’s doing it again tonight. 19 points on 6-12 FG (4-7 3P) in 23 minutes, and seems especially locked in on D. They’ve needed it with FVV out. – 9:00 PM

After the Raptors were rocked on the offensive glass by Zubac and Adams, Ayton is 1-for-7 with 1 offensive rebound.
Go try and figure literally anything out, I dare you. – 9:00 PM

Gary Trent Jr. gets a T for staring into face of Torey Craig after stealing the ball and dunking on him. Pretty weak, but I know why the refs are tight on that stuff. Raps lead 63-54. Trent Jr. has 19 already with 9:29 to go in 3Q. – 8:57 PM

raps have 4 turnovers to the suns’ 14 at the half but are now just +4 on ftm and level on threes. suns still shooting strong at 57% to the raptors’ 41%.
maintaining that turnover differential is gonna be tough with o.g. foul trouble, maybe as tough as the load on pascal has been – 8:41 PM

The Chris Paul-led Suns average 13.5 turnovers per game. They committed 15 in the 1st half. Most the Raptors have forced this season is 23. Most they’ve ever forced is 29 (first game in franchise history, Nov. 3, 1995!).

Nurse said the Raptors just had a 20-minute film session, watching tape from last night’s game, and there was only 1 voice in the room: his.
“I’m probably not gonna err on the soft side. I’m going to show them the good, bad and the ugly. I’m not backing away from that stuff.” – 5:57 PM

No Fred VanVleet or Precious Achiuwa for the Raptors vs Phoenix tonight. They were hoping that Achiuwa would be ready to go tonight but they want him to get a couple more practices/workouts in before his return, which should come next week. – 5:48 PM
