It was another injury-plagued week for coach Jama Mahlalela’s Raptors 905, but the team’s talent is on the rise, and so is their record. Last week, the Raptors 905 rudely hosted the Windy City Bulls and the Long Island Nets. The Bulls were blown out despite having a few fringe NBA players, while Shamorie Ponds broke the Nets and Deng Adel’s hearts with a dagger.
Speaking of Ponds, he’s starting to get more and more comfortable, and has provided the 905 the scoring punch they needed in certain pockets of the game, and especially during crunch time.
