A two game advantage has vanished for the Toronto Raptors in what was a tale of two halves on Sunday night in Washington. The Toronto Raptors will return north, now faced with a guaranteed game six back in Washington.
Much like game three, early on it appeared as if the Raptors had complete control of game four. Leading the entire half, whenever Washington made a run to make the score close, Toronto responded with either a great defensive possession or timely three-point shooting.
In the first quarter, the Raptors found themselves in a back and forth battle with Washington, John Wall and Bradley Beal regularly earned both pick-and-roll opportunities and line drives to the basket in isolation situations.
