Raptors all drawn up with no play to go

The Raptors are prepared for the last seconds of a close game, if only they had a close game.

Raptors centre Jonas Valanciunas was a surprise option when he got the ball on the final play of regulation and forced overtime against Milwaukee last week.

Dwane Casey has some tricks up his sleeve but it’s been hard to show just what they are.

The Toronto Raptors head coach and his staff have a series of last-second plays — “at least” 20, he said, with options off each — but the team’s penchant for winning easily hasn’t created an opportunity to use many of them.
