DENVER—It was a game that deserved a better ending than it got.
A controversial finish to Toronto’s 118-113 loss to the Nuggets here Monday, a nail-biter marred by the ejection of Scottie Barnes in the final minute put a damper on what had been a tremendous game and one of the best all-around Raptors performances in weeks.
“I think it was a great game that looked like it was coming down to a great ending, it’s a little bit unfortunate that we didn’t get to see that ending, at all,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said.
