Raptors’ Ujiri says, ‘Put it on me.’

Raptors president built the team that fell to Cleveland, and he’ll build the rebound.

Masai Ujiri sounded like a GM who was sticking with his coach on Wednesday, and with much of the team that won a franchise-record 59 games in the regular season.

Masai Ujiri gets emotional. He was fined US$25,000 for running on the floor at halftime of Game 3 in the Raptors’ second-round series and yelling at the officials; he was furious after that game. And after his Raptors were swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers, again, Ujiri flirted with the idea of firing his head coach.
