One — This was a complete letdown performance by the Raptors from start to finish, and it mostly boiled down to the lack of effort on defence. The Thunder, whose roster resembles that of an undergrad classroom, finished with 70 points in the paint and had eight players score in double digits. Not a single Raptors player could keep their man in front of them, and the rotations in behind either came too late, or were non-existent.
Three — VanVleet and O.G. Anunoby weren’t good enough to carry the team. In truth, they aren’t on that level where dominance should be expected, but they had both been strong this week with Siakam out. Both players forced their shots Friday, which is understandable to some degree since it’s on them to spark the team, but it only added to their misery.
