Five thoughts on last night: Pelicans 120, Raptors 116

Well, it looks light it might just be one of those seasons, doesn’t it.

The Raptors’ current offensive execution looks like something from the pre-culture-reset Dwane Casey days, and they’re playing with about as much joy as the as they did in the Jay Triano days. It’s not fun!

But we endure. Let’s see what ailed the Toronto Raptors last night, in their 120-116 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.

1. Untenable Crunch Time Execution

The Raptors did a fantastic job getting back into the game after a disastrous 18 minutes after halftime, using a 14-2 run to take a 113-111 lead with 2:45 to go.
