For their third game in four nights, the Toronto Raptors travelled to Memphis to take on the Grizzlies. The team was clearly feeling the effects of the road trip, and came out flat on defense. In desperate need of a spark, the team got one when Nick Nurse took his second technical foul in defense of Fred VanVleet, getting ejected from the game in the third quarter. Down 94-85 at the point of the ejection, the Raptors roared back to win the game 128-113.
It was not easy, however, as some adversity would be piled onto the team early.
