“I saw a lot of fight,” Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic said. “We missed a layup, we missed wide-open shots, we missed a dunk. Obviously guys, they want to make those shots. They want to make the right decisions there. It did not go our way tonight.”Kuzma scores 31, Wizards snap 5-game skid with 109-102 win over KingsIn addition to Poole’s late contributions, Kuzma heated up and went 4 of 6 from the floor in the final minutes after starting 3 of 12 and finished with 16 points.
Richaun Holmes also grabbed a game-high 14 of the Wizards’ 55 rebounds to Toronto’s 42, along with 15 points. They also struggled to contain Avdija, the ninth pick in the 2020 draft who’s making the most of a bigger role.
