The Toronto Raptors looked destined for another loss in their apparent quest to tank against the Washington Wizards, but a furious fourth-quarter comeback led by Malachi Flynn and Aron Baynes, of all people, was capped off by the first signature moment in the Raptors career of Gary Trent Jr.

After an all-time flop from Raul Neto, Trent rose up and connected on a 3-pointer that gave Toronto a 103-101 victory over Washington.
