Dial 905: Raptors 905 discover defensive identity against Birmingham Squadron

After a dreadful defensive effort against the Texas Legends last week, the Raptor’s 905 defense has been trending up. It wasn’t just about playing the passing lanes and gambling for steals. Still, this road trip in Alabama has shown that this team is quite capable of a defensive effort that will make the previous iterations of this team proud.

Despite being near the bottom of the standings, the Birmingham Squadron is one of the best perimeter shooting teams in the league, finishing the Showcase Cup 3rd at 3PM. After this series, the Raptors 905 somehow brought them down to 2nd at 3PM for the regular season.
