The Toronto Raptors’ fourth Summer League matchup had them toe-to-toe with the Golden State Warriors. With the Summer League Championship playoff on the line, the Raptors showed up and delivered. With a 81-69 win, they will now advance to the semifinals.
This was a game of defence and grittiness, with both teams showing a high level of effort on that end of the floor. In the first half alone, there were 30 fouls, with the whistle sounding often to try and slow some of the physicality in this contest.
The incentive for the defensive effort was clear, as both teams struggled shooting.
