Nothing had to be said, something had to be done.
And an unlikely group of Raptors did it.
A hybrid fivesome — regular starters O.G. Anunoby and Scottie Barnes with reserves Jeff Dowtin Jr., Chris Boucher and Christian Koloko — sparked a fourth-quarter turnaround that led the Raptors to a 114-104 victory over the Washington Wizards at Scotiabank Arena on Sunday evening.
After the Wizards had buried Toronto under a barrage of third-quarter three-pointers to shave a 21-point Raptor leads to one, coach Nick Nurse rolled the dice a bit with the unusual group to start the fourth.
