The Raptors used a big second quarter, where they outscored the Wizards 30-19 and built a 14-point lead at one point, to give themselves breathing room. The Wizards, undefeated at home coming into the game, didn’t go easily, cutting the lead to five in the third and six in the fourth. But with Fred VanVleet running the show, and all five starters contributing, the Raptors answered every Wizards rally and held on for the win.
