"Just overall low energy, low complete level, lack of execution, not really trying to get done what we were trying to get done," said VanVleet, reviewing the final box score."We really just got completely outplayed if you watched the game, looked at the stats, in pretty much every aspect." "Clearly, we missed them today but it’s not an excuse, we could have won this game," said Chris Boucher, who had 11 points and six rebounds off the bench."There were a couple breaks that cost us, I think there were a couple fouls that went the other way that didn’t help us."
Oshae Brissett of Mississauga, Ont., Montreal's Bennedict Mathurin and Nembhard all started for Indiana. It was the first time since starters were officially tracked in 1970-71 that three Canadian-born players started for a single team in an NBA game. O.G. Anunoby made two free throws with 9:43 left to go for an 87-86 Toronto lead. Boucher followed that up with a contested jumper and a made free throw for a four-point Raptors' advantage.After the two teams swapped points for several minutes, a brief 6-2 Pacers run with about six minutes left to play helped the visitors start to pull away.
"Pretty much just playing hard and playing the game the right way," said Mathurin of his seven fourth-quarter points."I feel like it was the main thing I had to do and try to close out the game.
