A tired and short-staffedToronto Raptorsteam needed full participation from everyone still standing to have a chance for a W in Miami last night. They didn’t get it. The Raptors’ pitiful shooting from beyond the arc choked off the offense, and negated any serious chance for a comeback against the hot Heat.
The Raptors lost their last pair of games on this road trip, and understanding why isn’t difficult. Everyone who follows the team knew the departure of Terrence Ross and Kyle Lowry’s injury would create a severe dearth of 3-point scoring. Yet even pessimists like me didn’t foresee a 2-game total of 6 for 40, or 15%.
