Numbers Game: It’s Been a Rough Stretch for Toronto

The past few games for the Raptors have been... unkind. Over the past seven games, the Raptors have garnered only two wins (against the Jazz and Lakers), but the issues go far deeper than that.

Over the past seven games, the Raptors rank:

14th in Offensive Rating (ORTG - points scored per 100 possessions)
28th in Defensive Rating (DRTG - points allowed per 100 possessions)
23rd in Net Rating (RTG - point differential per 100 possessions)
30th in Assist Rate (AST Ratio - assists per 100 possessions)
30th in Defensive Rebound Rate (DREB% - percent of available defensive rebounds collected)
29th in Effective Field Goal Percentage (eFG% - FG% adjusted for value of three pointers)
18th in True Shooting Percentage (like eFG%, but also adjusted for value of free throws)

The Raptors have been a low assist team all year, and a poor defensive rebounding team all year.
