San Antonio vs. Toronto, Final Score: Spurs drop lead and lose to Raptors in OT, 116-123

In a deflating loss, the San Antonio Spurs withered under a volley of second half and overtime threes and ramped up physicality from a Toronto Raptors squad that recovered from a slow start and found a winning shooting touch that undid the home team’s impressive first half. The Spurs made 52% from the field (23 baskets on 14 assists) while building a 22-point lead, but cooled in the final quarters just enough for the Raptors to force the extra period. While the Raptors shaved five points off the big deficit in the third, they combined pressure on the defensive perimeter with white-hot shooting to send the game to overtime.
