We apologize, but this video has failed to load.Toronto head coach Nick Nurse, who also coaches Canada’s men’s senior basketball team, said it’s good for the growth of the sport in this country to have so many homegrown players coming through the city to play the Raptors.

VanVleet made a driving layup with 31.1 seconds left in the first quarter to give Toronto a 29-28 lead. The Raptors struggled mightily with their free-throw shooting in the frame, going 6-for-12, an average only slightly better than their 47.6 per cent field-goal shooting. Back-to-back three-pointers by Tre Mann and Isaiah Joe brought the Thunder to within four, but the Raptors answered back with a 13-foot jump shot from Gary Trent Jr. and a Chris Boucher dunk to maintain their lead. Heading into the fourth Toronto led 93-87.
