Raptors Struggle Despite Efforts


The Toronto Raptors faced challenges throughout the game but saw some bright spots from their roster. They were able to lead for about half as long as Sacramento did but couldn't sustain momentum against Sacramento's relentless offense and tight defense. Despite outscoring Sacramento in fast break points (12-8) and maintaining close percentages in field goals made (49 percent), they fell short due largely to turnovers and less effective scoring runs compared to those by Sacramento.
