Though the Raptors continue to impress now that they’re back home from a Western Conference trip, the G League affiliates have been struggling to start their year. This week, the team went 0-3 in a home-and-home with Maine and on the road in Wisconsin, dropping them to 0-4 on the season.
Second half execution has been a major reason behind the losses, as big quarter differentials in all three games (-15 in the 4th at Wisconsin, -8 in the 3rd at Maine, -10 in the 3rd vs. Maine) have set them back. The other is simply bodies on the floor — with injuries to Serge Ibaka and OG Anunoby this past week, Dewan Hernandez and Oshae Brissett spent different games out of the 905 locker room during road trips.
