00:01And if this is a game seven
00:03approach by Orlando you saw it
00:06for about five minutes in the
00:07first quarter and since then
00:09just the unraveling of the
00:11magic and they have to be
00:14absolutely stunned.
00:18Well former Raptor GM Jeff
00:21Weltman who's the president of
00:23the Magic is here tonight in
00:24the building and this is a
00:26incredibly disappointing effort
00:28for his club and great job by
00:32Shed keep it finding a way to
00:34keep control of it but they are
00:36down 33 oh there's Jeff right
00:39there nice chat with him before
00:40the game.
00:42Always good to see Jeff and we
00:46really felt they were that one
00:48piece away in Desmond Bain but
00:51then the injuries is taking over
00:55and they're getting any
00:56consistent cap situation now
00:58now that they're all in on this
01:00group so got to find solutions.
01:03Scotty on Suggs.
01:09Jamal Mosley has done a great job
01:11getting him to this point but
01:13they are just struggling here.
01:17Look he and Bancaro have had their
01:20moments this year so that's always
01:25tough when your expectations are a
01:27little higher and sometimes fingers
01:31got good pointed Scotty over top.
01:35Shed with the find and Barnes and the
01:39Raptors are carving up the magic.
01:41He talked about bonds with assists how
01:44about Shed he's got six assists
01:45tonight.
01:47Great effort by Jamal Shed.
01:51De Silva the three Bain no bat it out Bancaro the closeout by Scotty step back not there Bain
02:04driving and a foul on the inside with 30.6 left here in the first half and I love that
02:10foul put him right on as you know what and Scotty Barnes look at this right here the screen the
02:17roll beautifully done Jamal Shed dropping a dime on Scotty B and I tell you what talk about junkyard dog
02:25mentality tonight like
02:26taking taking the fight to your opponent in their face aggressive physicality pressure on the ball you name it the
02:34Raptors have brought it tonight it's beautiful to watch how many times when you called an early timeout at Niagara
02:41did you go in that huddle and say hey you got to put somebody on there you know what I'd
02:47say quite often I would say there's the language it's just a family show I can't repeat what I said
02:53but the result wasn't as good as this that's why I'm sitting here with you
02:56be sure but you got to let you got to let guys know man that's unacceptable clearly Coach Darko did

04:11largest ever run by an NBA team since that data has become available what existed in the scoring let's start

04:25our defense so that's it right there
04:27and let's focus it on the defense you coming off the bench quite early yourself and Grady
04:32what was it what was it in terms of what was set with tone defensively that you'd like to see
04:36carry on in the second half

05:08first half
05:09that's a franchise record in forced turnovers in a half
05:15these next five minutes as you look at these numbers which are extremely impressive
05:21is going to say a lot about the Orlando Magic
05:24at this stage can the Raptors just continue
05:29that fierce competitiveness that they showed in the first half
05:32well we've seen both of these teams in the first two games have leads and squander them so
05:38Raptors got to be sound here to start the third
05:42shed shot doesn't go
05:45Suggs with it in the paint
05:49Suggs

06:47in the final four set Jack

07:23but Indiana's played the spoiler role here last week
07:27and again they're an extremely talented team but for obvious reasons
07:32Jacoperto and the Raptors continue to pour it on
07:41another steal
07:43Jacoby
07:46timeout Jamal Mosley
07:48and the Raptors with their largest lead
07:52the Raptors have utilized this a few times today the double team
07:55right in half court
07:57and we're going to see it right here
07:59and the turnover of Jacoby Walter
08:01hello the finish
08:03wraps rolling
08:13team represented in Vietnam Detroit track correction
08:16and theнибудь fourth polymer
08:18winning two gold medals
08:19more recently earning silver
08:21in invincible
08:23after 23-6
08:39It is men's and women's a few Duke
08:42guys right there and I'm sure
08:44wherever he is in the building
08:45Brandon Ingram hot broken as well.
08:48I remember Bernie Bickerstaff
08:50saying hey if a guy was coached
08:53you can say the same thing with
08:55Dan Hurley guy was coached by Jim
08:57Calhoun and you're waffling on a
09:00player to draft go with the one
09:02that played for Jim Calhoun because
09:04you know he's been coached hard.
09:06Well it's interesting you say that
09:07because when I was a college coach
09:09if there was a guy that played for
09:11a Morgan Wooden at the Matho
09:12Bob Hurley at St. Anthony's you
09:17want to recruit a guy like that
09:18you know because they've been
09:20coached up big time a Jack Curran
09:21at Archbishop Molloy in New York.
09:25De Silva with a hook shot over top.
09:30But Storrs Connecticut
09:32Gamble Pavilion
09:34it is a special place.
09:36It's worth the journey to go there.
09:39I've been there.
09:40I've been there multiple times.
09:42I'm not sure if I would say it's worth the journey.
09:44It is worth the journey.
09:45I don't even know if Kia knows.
09:46I used to call UConn women's hoops back in the late 90s on radio.
09:52I wouldn't say Storrs Connecticut is on the top of my list.
09:56I'll go to New Haven.
09:57I'll tell you what.
09:58The pizza in New Haven at Yale University
10:01which is a beautiful camp.
10:02My niece plays hockey there.
10:03But the pizza in New Haven is off the charts.
10:07They got great ice cream in stores.
10:08They got the dairy farm right there.
10:11They whip up their own ice cream.
10:14And I'll tell you this, Jeff.
10:17And you know this.
10:19UConn St. John's at Madison Square Garden.
10:22That's one of the all-time great games to go to.
10:27Time now for advice for victory presented by TV
10:29which includes a trip to stores.
10:32Here we go.
10:33And TD advice that's offensive and tenacity.
10:36Continue that.
10:37No let up.
10:39Enough said.
10:40Team play.
10:41They're sharing a rock.
10:43Tell you what.
10:44You mentioned Jim Calhoun.
10:45He gave me great advice my first year as a head coach in Niagara.
10:47He said, we're on the road recruiting in the summer.
10:50We're sitting and watching a summer league game.
10:52He says, Jack, at your basketball camp
10:55make sure you get a snow cone machine.
10:58Like a snow cone?
10:59Basket by RJ Barrett.
11:00A snow cone machine.
11:02Why?
11:02He goes, it's ice.
11:05How much does it cost for ice?
11:07A little squirt of syrup and you're selling it for two bucks.
11:12That's when coaches needed that extra money from the camps back in the day.
11:18I used to take care of my four assistants a little extra.
11:23Scottie walks into the three.
11:25Grady trying to grab that rebound.
11:27Suggs comes away with it.
11:28Raptors lead at 82-49.
11:31So if you run a camp, get a snow cone machine.
11:34He'll make some cash over.
11:35Here's Vankero guarded by Barrett.
11:38Nothing I say basketball-wise makes any sense,
11:40but that makes good business sense right there.
11:44De Silva with the three.
11:46And Barrett with a rebound, pushing it ahead.
11:48Grady goes right to the iron.
11:52And Vankero will take it away.
11:55Let's send it over to Kayla.
11:57Thanks for the business advice, Jack.
11:59Well, you got everything covered business-wise.
12:02KG, man.
12:03Subway, Kayla.
12:04Yeah, thanks.
12:05I mean, come on, man, now.
12:07Watch your mouth now over there, Matt.
12:08Watch your mouth.
12:09All right.
12:10KG, you got business going.
12:12I'll tell you what.
12:13Absolutely.
12:13Now to the real business and the basketball.
12:15I caught up with assistant coach Pat Delaney
12:17and asked him what existed in that first half,
12:20that run that he liked.
12:21He says it was just our disposition, guarding the ball,
12:23ball pressure, touching the paint, multiple efforts,
12:26and then our ability to finish our possessions,
12:28which was critical.
12:30Again, still lots of basketball left.
12:32There's a long way to go.
12:33We need to continue to stay locked in.
12:35And how's this, guys?
12:36In the last 30 years, two 30-plus-0 run games.
12:40And guess who was on the floor for both of those?
12:44A.J. Lawson.
12:46Wow.
12:47See, I come with some stats sometimes.
12:49Sometimes I come with stats.
12:49I tell you what, that is some great memory
12:51played for the Dallas Mavericks.
12:52That's right.
12:53Some great research done by Kayla.
12:56KG, bring it in.
12:58Kayla had a busy week, was out west with us.
13:01We were in L.A., then she went to Vancouver.
13:03She told me she was a little tired today.
13:05No, went to Vancouver, did a big apple.
13:07Of course.
13:08I knew it went.
13:09And then was in L.A. doing FIFA work.
13:12Oh, yeah.
13:13Listen, I got to pay my bills.
13:15I tell you what.
13:16I work hard for my money.
13:19People don't realize.
13:21What?
13:21There's never an off day with you.
13:24You are on a plane, train, or an automobile going to your next gig.
13:29I'm living the dream.
13:30I watch basketball for a living.
13:32We're getting ready for the People World Cup.
13:34Like, come on.
13:36It is awesome.
13:36And she's bringing her A game.
13:38Trying to.
13:39Always do.
13:40Here's R.J., and he is fouled.
13:43We welcome those on TSN2 that just saw UConn with an unbelievable finish.
13:51It's why you call it March Madness.
13:53It's also why coaches, no matter the score, will always tell them, value the basketball.
14:00And he had two coming to the ball.
14:02Boozer with that turnover.
14:04They're late.
14:04Trying to go over top.
14:09And John Shire, and what is the highest payroll in the ACC, over 12 million, falls in the Elite Eight.
14:20What a week conference this year, though.
14:22Yeah.
14:23You know, like, I think.
14:25I would agree with that.
14:27Yep.
14:27And you look, I mean, you know, Miami, Clemson, and Virginia.
14:32And Big East didn't get the respect.
14:34No.
14:34And you look at how St. John's took Duke to the wire.
14:37And then Connecticut back-to-back Big East teams.
14:44It's interesting, you know, you got a guy like Dan Hurley.
14:47The Lakers, we're looking at him a few years ago.
14:50He's getting his team back.
14:52Does he stay as a college guy his whole career?
14:55Does he take one more look at the NBA?
14:57I think he stays in the college level.
14:59I don't know emotionally.
15:01Yeah, if he could.
15:02Yeah.
15:02I mean, the ups and downs.
15:04Grady with the three.
15:07And financially, why go?
15:12He's making 10 a year at UConn.
15:17But on the other hand, if I'm a Billy Donovan at the Chicago Bulls, and they're in a rebuild.
15:22And Chapel Hill, here I come.
15:24Billy's a Hall of Fame collegiate coach, two-time NCAA champion of Florida.
15:29If that's there, I think it makes sense for him.
15:32I don't disagree.
15:34The other thing in regards to that, Bill Self, who Grady Dick played for, another Hall of Fame coach, does
15:40he stay?
15:42He's undecided as of yet.
15:44And that would really get the ball rolling with the dominoes because there's a lot of conversation about Golden at
15:52Florida.
15:53And, you know, in Kansas.
15:56Bill Self has had some health issues of late.
15:59And, you know, speaking of Orlando, Billy Donovan turned down the Orlando Magic job, accepted it, and then turned it
16:06down.
16:06And then Stan Van Gundy took that job, did an incredible job there.
16:11Pirtle with the block.
16:13Off and running again.
16:14Here's Walter in the corner.
16:17A.J. moves it.
16:18The extra pass.
16:19Mahmoud back to A.J.
16:21A.J. gathers, shot, no, weak side board for Pirtle.
16:2530-point lead.
16:27Walter over to Shedd, getting into the offense.
16:30Pirtle in the high post.
16:33Shot clock down to three.
16:35Mahmoud likes to match up.
16:37Leans in, gets a little room, and delivers.
16:3919 now.
16:40How great has he been in the last two games?
16:4318 on Friday night against the Pelicans.
16:4619 tonight.
16:47Mahmoud magic!
16:49Zuggs gives it up.
16:52Richardson with it.
16:53Bench plus 25 tonight, Matty D.
16:5531-6.
17:02Zuggs.
17:03Into Silva's shot.
17:04Doesn't go.
17:07Bancaro.
17:08Bancaro.
17:09Three.
17:10Off the mark.
17:11Paolo Bancaro tonight.
17:13Three for 12.
17:15Nine points.
17:160-4 from three.
17:17And after that last shot, now three for 13.
17:20Raptors.
17:22It's their night.
17:24These are historic numbers here.
17:26When you look at Giannis Green, Noah, Wade, Garnett, Pippen, Jordan.
17:31This is since 85-86.
17:33Scottie B.
17:34400 assists.
17:35100 blocks.
17:36Four straight games.
17:37Okay.
17:38With double figure assists.
17:40His playmaking tonight.
17:4211 assists.
17:43He's been magnificent.
17:44Sharing a rock.
17:46Bringing two to the ball.
17:47Just facilitating for his teammates.
17:50Setting them up.
17:51Look at this one right here.
17:53Beautiful vision that time.
17:55Taking care of R.J. Barrett.
17:57And in the last seven games, okay, you look at that four straight.
18:02His touches are up about nine and a half from previous ten games since the break.
18:12Around 61 touches.
18:14Now it's north of 70.
18:16Addy D., I said it early in the broadcast, I'll say it again.
18:19He is your lead guard.
18:21I agree.
18:21He is your facilitator.
18:23He is your Kate Cunningham.
18:25He is your Magic Johnson.
18:27The rest of the guys play off of his ability to playmate.
18:31That is something that you want to see more and more of.
18:35The ball in his hands.
18:37Your team becomes better.
18:39It's next level because of his vision.
18:42He is the best instinctual passer you have in your program.
18:46And you mentioned it earlier.
18:47He sees things before it develops.
18:51And that's not being disrespectful to Quickly or Shed who are more, you know, they look the part of more
18:57of a traditional point guard.
18:58But I'm looking at playmaking chops and who's got the best on your team.
19:05That's him.
19:06So, the Rock's got to be in his hands more and more.
19:09And everyone else has got to play off.
19:10AJ throws it down.
19:13Straight out of Brandon with the hammer.
19:17And a timeout.
19:18AJ Lawson.
19:19Tremendous minutes.
19:21Played well back-to-back games.
19:23Eight points here.
19:24And tremendous pass.
19:26Jamal Shed.
19:27Shed with ten points.
19:28Eight assists.
19:29Hello!
19:29With the finish.
19:31Raps high-octane.
19:34Running.
19:34Gunning.
19:35Hooping.
19:36Raps up big.
19:40Has to offer.
19:42Raptor fans enjoying this one.
19:44Some of them making it a doubleheader.
19:47Coming over from the Jays game.
19:49They swept the athletics.
19:51Yeah, I've met a lot of people tonight that have done the doubleheader.
19:56Why not?
19:5793-57 here.
19:59One o'clock game.
20:00Jays win 5-2.
20:01And then you walk down the street.
20:03It's great.
20:03And there's a few little establishments on the way.
20:06Yes, you know them well.
20:07Yeah, and you're just primed and ready for a six o'clock start.
20:11So, beautiful sports Sunday here in T.O.
20:19The conversation is, in all five years, right, has been with Scotty and the ball.
20:26And we're seeing the best of it.
20:28What we're seeing with the ball in his hands.
20:31What it allows this offense to do.
20:35And to your point with Quick, you get him off the ball, which we've seen.
20:39He's terrific.
20:40And he can shoot the three ball, right?
20:41So, you know, even with his return, do they continue this style with Scotty bringing the ball up.
20:51He sees the floor.
20:54Willing passer.
20:55Good things happen.
20:56And then Lawson connects in another dime for Barnes.
21:00I'll tell you what.
21:02I'll tell you what, man.
21:03You've got internal competition going on here.
21:07A.J.
21:09I'll tell you what.
21:10If you're A.J. Lawson, every time he gets a chance to play, he plays well.
21:15And he's played well for the G League team, the 9-0-5.
21:18Averaging better than 21.
21:20So, you've got Battle, right, who's sick tonight.
21:23Look at that help.
21:25Good put back by Scotty Barnes.
21:28Battle sick tonight.
21:29Quickly.
21:30Brady Dick.
21:31Jacoby Walter.
21:34You've got a guy like A.J. Lawson keeps everybody on their toes because everybody's pushing for minutes.
21:41Look at this right here.
21:42Scotty B.
21:43Tremendous effort.
21:45What a game he's having.
21:4618 points, 12 assists.
21:51And, you know, the empowerment, too.
21:54He's looking around saying, hey, man, we don't have quick B.I., CMB in battle tonight.
22:00You know, I've got to run the show for my team.
22:03But I think he's got to bring that empowerment mentality every night.
22:08And, as we said, it's interesting.
22:12What was part of the rationale with Fred VanVleet leaving, right?
22:17You know, like, hey, you want to feature this guy more.
22:19But if you're going to feature him, then feature him.
22:22Here's Carter with the bucket.
22:24Barnes with his 28th double-double.
22:26That's a career best.
22:29And a delay of game warning and a technical foul.
22:34And so, Scott, he's going to head to the foul line.
22:37And he's shooting lights out since the All-Star break on the line.
22:43Matt, it's very interesting, to your point, about his free throw shooting.
22:47How many teams don't have their point guard that he misses?
22:51And I did not give him the analysis thing.
22:53But how many teams, seriously, at the high school level, college level, pro level,
22:59have anyone but their sure-shooting point guard or two-guard shoot technical fouls, right?
23:05And it speaks volumes about just how well he has shot at this year from the line.
23:11Right around 3.5%.
23:13Scottie with the slam dunk.
23:15A shot like that, you're going to be 100% if the defense doesn't stand in your way.
23:20And Scottie B, 21 and 12 assists.
23:25Scottie coming off of a 23.12 assist game and does his work on the inside.
23:32Barnes gets tied up by Carter.
23:34No call underneath.
23:35And the layup is good.
23:37And it just continues with the ball in Scottie's hands.
23:41And it's the biggest lead this season in any game.
23:47Bain foul.
23:4913th assist for Scottie Barnes.
23:54And here it is right here.
23:56Look at Scottie B right here.
23:58Beautiful.
24:00And he brings so many people to him.
24:03You know, Jeff Waltman, former Raptor GM, president of the Magic.
24:08Jeff was walking the hallways at halftime when I went to use the washroom.
24:13And I didn't, I talked to him pregame, but I didn't want to bother him.
24:17He looked like he had a lot on his mind.
24:20And there he is right there.
24:22A penny for your thoughts right now.
24:25This is a tough situation.
24:26This is a game that they, at least, at the very least, had to show up and, like, show a
24:33ton of compete level.
24:36Disappointing.
24:37RJ plus the foul.
24:39And if you're an executive in this league and you've got a lot of money invested in a roster,
24:44you're an ownership group, you're a coaching staff,
24:48but get the players for a minute.
24:50And whoever their captain is, whoever their internal leader is within the player group is one thing.
24:57But I'm sure there's going to be some heart-to-heart discussions tonight, post-game,
25:01and tomorrow about this, because for a team that's as talented as the Magic,
25:08for a game of this magnitude to come in and, quite frankly, be a no-show is stunning to me.
25:15Gave up four first-round picks and a pick swap for Bain.
25:22And every team deals with the injuries, and they certainly have, but the compete level.
25:28And Coach Mosley's done a great job.
25:30His teams have always been, like, incredibly dependable.
25:34Oh, Scottie blows it up, and he says, yeah, it's our night in Toronto.
25:42It's all working, Jack, on a Sunday night at the bank.
25:47Well, it's, it is March Madness right here.
25:51Look at this one.
25:52Whoop-de-doo!
25:53Hello!
25:54Little deposit right there.
26:00All right, I'm not going to talk anymore about this pre-coach.
26:0291% since the All-Star break from the line.
26:07Raptors.
26:09Scottie Barnes ties his career high with 14 assists.
26:13Jason.
26:16Okay.
26:20Quick BICMB battle out.
26:23This is what you call a program win tonight, right?
26:26Like, this is, this is your habits.
26:29These are the foundational things you hang your hat on as a program.
26:33Let's say, this is who we are.
26:36This is what we stand for.
26:37This is what we're about as an organization.
26:39Because tonight, they're doing all those little tenets, those little things that coaches stress from day one of training camp.
26:48RJ, the finish and the foul.
26:51Barnes and Barrett with the chest bump.
26:56And those four guys that aren't playing tonight, they're looking, going, those guys didn't need me tonight.
27:01But this is the way you want to play.
27:04It's been their defense.
27:06They've forced 23 turnovers.
27:08They've gotten 30 points off the turnovers.
27:10They've held them to 39% from the field, okay?
27:14And 22% from three.
27:18I mean, they have just dominated defensively.
27:21And Scottie rises up, gets a piece of that.
27:23He's got a career-high 15 assists.
27:26Does Scottie Barnes.
27:30I like this.
27:34Feature him.
27:37Here's RJ in the paint.
27:40Oh, the pass.
27:41Hangs on the rim.
27:42Martin puts it back up and in.
27:45Never give in or give up.
27:47You're killing RJ.
27:49You've tossed him an assist.
27:52There's a great look by RJ.
27:55You mentioned this.
27:57And Scottie lets it go.
28:01Darko Ryakovich has talked since day one about the standard, right?
28:05Our standard.
28:07And tonight, they're playing to them.
28:09And you get an injection of A.J. Lawson and Mamou Kelesvili with 19.
28:18But just the lead guard play of Barnes and then Barrett.
28:22Impressive.
28:26He's in the third quarter, outscored Orlando 43-25, shooting 18 for 27.
28:33And Jamal Mosley just goes to the bench.
28:38And that's going to do it for the starting five at this stage.
28:44Moe Wagner, older brother of Franz, on the court, Richardson, Penda, along with Howard.
28:52Here's a three-point attempt that doesn't go for Kane.
28:58Raptors with Jakub, Grady, Jacoby, Mamou, and Shed.
29:03And I think if you're Coach Darko, you've got to be conscious of the fact that you have five games.
29:07Oh, boy.
29:08And he has those five stitches.
29:11Hurdle, you've got five games this week.
29:14Tuesday at Detroit, you've got to come back here and play Sacramento Wednesday at Memphis Friday,
29:20at Boston Sunday.
29:22Early game.
29:23Early game.
29:24That's a lot of basketball in a short period of time.
29:27So you've got to be really conscious tonight, this fourth quarter here,
29:31of the minutes, particularly the guys that play a lot for you.
29:34See.
29:35Sweet touch, Walter.
29:37Walter, Jack, through three quarters of play.
29:42And we highlighted it throughout the first three quarters, but here's the statistical point.
29:52Barnes scored or assisted on 57 of the Raptors' 113 points.
29:58Remarkable.
30:00Corner three, Jacoby, Walter, from downtown.
30:07You know how you say, never snap your fingers near a guy that's in a zone?
30:12Don't snap your fingers near Jacoby Walter.
30:14He had a tough start, but I feel like it's going to go in every time.
30:18Shed with the steal.
30:20Shed with the throw down.
30:22Rising up, soaring through the air, and finishing.
30:33That's what I'm talking about here, Matty D.
30:36Up, up, and away!
30:39Jamal Shed showing some major ups!
30:50Raptors will take on Detroit Tuesday.
30:53They'll return home for Tangerine Raptors basketball on TSN.
30:59Wednesday, DeMar DeRozan in Sacramento's in town.
31:03Coverage gets underway, 70 Eastern, 4 Pacific on TSN.
31:07Here we go, Jamal Shed.
31:11Love it!
31:12Double-double!
31:13Jamal Shed, 12 points, 10 assists, and a Raptor bench, Matty D.
31:19They're loving everything they got.
31:22Markel Fultz in the game.
31:24It's like they wrapped the 9-0-5 out there right now.
31:28Cody Dick climbs up, grabs a rebound.
31:31Markel Fultz, after Philadelphia, went to Orlando.
31:35Put together some productive seasons there.
31:42This is where, if you're this group, you want to at least maintain this lead.
31:50Yeah, but, you know, we saw it the other night Friday where they came in late
31:54and just play with intensity, play to the standard.
31:58They're up 53.
31:59Yeah.
32:01I'm a history man.
32:02They're up 55 points right now.
32:03Well, that's what I'm saying.
32:04Just maintain.
32:04I get it.
32:05But I get it.
32:05You know, like, now they're up 53.
32:07Okay.
32:08I mean, look at Darko.
32:09He's not happy right now with them.
32:11I know, like, my math is really bad, but this is, like, I'm, like, I cannot believe.
32:19Man, look, I can't believe the Raptors are up 53 in this game,
32:23and I can't believe Orlando's down 53 in this game.
32:27Well, especially with everything that they thought is Lawson fills it up from the corner.
32:35Wow.
32:36I'll tell you what.
32:37Everything that Orlando was talking about pregame after Suggs and Bain checked out
32:44when they led 18-14, Raptors just overwhelmed them defensively.
32:50Did they mean game seven of the season or game seven of the playoffs?
32:53Yeah, no.
32:54Oh, this is a turnover, and that pass, 9-0-6 to go.
33:01I'll tell you what, A.J. Lawson, you know, just from a pro personnel perspective,
33:08I look at him out there, and if there aren't minutes in Toronto, I'm stunned there aren't
33:1629 other teams that look at this guy and say, can't play for us.
33:21He's a good player.
33:23Yeah.
33:23Well, Trace Jackson Davis lays it up and in.
33:26He made five threes last night for the 9-0-5, 4-5 tonight.
33:30I mean, he's a good player.
33:32Yeah.
33:33Like, you know, and sometimes it's opportunity, there are guys ahead, you know, it's just,
33:39it's all, he's a good player.
33:43And I hope the opportunity comes here, because A.J.'s a wonderful young man.
33:47I hope the opportunity comes here for him.
33:49And if it doesn't, then I wish him well, because somebody's going to get lucky with him.
33:55Howard lays it up and in.
33:58And for A.J. Lawson, his 16th game this season with the Raptors.
34:05A.J. rises up.
34:07The three doesn't go, but the key is, from a defensive standpoint, how hard he works defensively.
34:15And then the bonus are the threes and the ability to stretch the floor.
34:2225 years of age, went to the University of South Carolina.
34:26Grady with a three.
34:28Under eight minutes to go.
34:30And, but he competes every night.
34:32Absolutely.
34:33He loves to play.
34:34Yeah.
34:35And if you look around the league, Jack, you know, that's what you're looking for.
34:40Well, looking what Phoenix does.
34:41Yeah.
34:41Phoenix has brought, you know, low-priced guys in.
34:44They got cap issues.
34:45They just found some hard-playing dudes.
34:48And, you know, they're having a great year.
34:52Wagner with it.
34:53Let's check in with Kayla Gray.
34:56Well, you guys mentioned Darko Ryakovich obviously still standing by the sideline.
34:59Intense and still in it.
35:01And that's exactly what Mark L. Foltz was looking forward to when joining this Toronto Raptors group.
35:06I talked to him ahead of last game.
35:08And he said, when it comes to.
35:12There's a timeout on the court.
35:14KG.
35:15Kayla's going to get hold.
35:17That thought, KG.
35:18I'm a holding.
35:19KG, we're going to come back.
35:20We're going to immediately get to Kayla Gray.
35:23KG, coming up.
35:30Raptors basketball on TSN is brought to you by Tangerine Bank.
35:35You can never be too invested in your team.
35:39Tangerine, the official bank of the Toronto Raptors and their fans.
35:46Let's send it back over to Kayla Gray.
35:48Thanks so much, guys.
35:50Well, yes, as I mentioned, Mark L. Foltz excited to work with this guy, Darko Ryakovich.
35:55The level of intensity that he still has, even though the Raptors are up big.
35:59I'm not about to do that math.
36:00But he said to me when we caught up, he said he's different and in a good way.
36:04You can tell he cares about his players.
36:06And I've heard plenty of guys say that when showing up here, I really understood it.
36:10He obviously went out of his way to make me comfortable.
36:12But what he's pushed me to do is compete, even with the mistakes, just to go out there, do my
36:18thing.
36:18He understands my motive.
36:20He understands why I'm here.
36:21And that's why I'm so excited to work alongside him, guys.
36:26A whistle and a foul.
36:28Of course, a former number one pick overall.
36:31Overall, actually, the whistle is to get the shot clock situated.
36:39Raptors, 130 to 80.
36:437.02 to go.
36:46Javon Carter, you saw Darko and he having a conversation.
36:51They were together in Phoenix with the Suns when Darko was an assistant there.
36:57Here's Jet Howard with a three.
36:59Grady doesn't go and Mobo flies in and snares it.
37:04Grady-Dick over to Elijah Martin.
37:09Raptors are going to win their fifth in a row at home and improved to 42 and 32.
37:17Grady with the bucket.
37:18Ten games over, 500, Jack, on the season.
37:23In a game that we've been talking about for quite some time, Howard, with a slam dunk.
37:29And the Raptors starting to play a little better at home, Matty D.
37:32That's important.
37:3321-16.
37:35After tonight, on the road, Detroit.
37:38You'll catch them on the second night of a back-to-back.
37:40Sacramento will catch the Raptors on the second night of a back-to-back.
37:44And there's T. Rosser, who's great to catch up with him before the start of the game.
37:49And great to see Terrence.
37:51And Terrence working with Magic TV and was traded to Orlando.
37:58Still makes his home there.
38:00Great trade, by the way, getting Serge Ibaka in that trade.
38:07Here's Howard.
38:08And the denial by Martin underneath.
38:12Martin said something I can't say on TV.
38:15That's why I say get that job.
38:17He's competitive.
38:18Well, it's what you say on the schoolyard.
38:20The R-rated version of what I say.
38:24Here's Grady with a scoop shot.
38:28And Carter with it.
38:31Here's Howard getting to the bucket.
38:35And for the Magic, how do you digest this?
38:38This is a tough one because essentially, since the 5.30 mark of the first quarter,
38:45it was a no-show.
38:47And that's tough to handle.
38:53For the coaching staff, for the front office,
38:57given the importance of this game, for the Raptors, you say,
39:01okay, we stuck to the plan.
39:04Yes, we're missing key players, but players stepped up.
39:08And maybe tonight, as you mentioned, in A.J. Lawson,
39:11you start to see him worked into the rotation.
39:15And, again, I think teams develop in season.
39:21And you put different combinations of people in,
39:24and things start to click, and you start to see things a little differently.
39:29Again, the Scottie Barnes element is something that really needs to be considered
39:34more and more in terms of his usage and his role.
39:39Three by Mo Wagner.
39:41You're right.
39:43Because if you're going to beat high-level team and teams in the playoffs,
39:49the ball's got to be in the hands of your best players all the time.
39:53And the fourth and fifth guys has got to be complementary pieces
39:57that play off the talents of your top three.
40:00You saw a little bit on Friday and tonight,
40:03where you have Barnes, Mamu, and Pirtle on the floor.
40:06And Mamu, very effective, adds that element of stretching the floor right at his size.
40:14And then Mamu and Pirtle, they play well together
40:17in terms of the inside-out action, the high-low stuff.
40:243.40 left.
40:25Grady Dick wasn't for a call there, but...
40:27Yeah, even Darko's saying...
40:29They're human.
40:30You know, it's a blowout.
40:31The referees want to get out of here.
40:34Here's Carter.
40:35And the three doesn't go.
40:38Charlotte loses back-to-back games.
40:41To good teams.
40:42Philly and then Boston today.
40:44And Boston beat them by double digits.
40:46But as we know and have seen through our years in the NBA,
40:53it's different when you're a team that is hunting down other teams,
40:59and then it's a lot different for Charlotte
41:03when teams come there and know that you're putting together a run
41:07and know that you're a good team and have been playing well.
41:10And Charlotte's getting all the hype in the league right now.
41:12But I think the team that people are sleeping on is Philly
41:15because they've been so banged up.
41:17And I mentioned this last week.
41:19Coach Nick Nurse has done a great job there
41:21keeping that thing afloat
41:23until you get guys back.
41:25And the Raptors will
41:27go to bed tonight
41:28and they'll be the fifth seed
41:30and four more games this week
41:32that are significant.
41:34And got to keep it going with
41:37where we got eight games left.
41:39Yeah, eight games.
41:40Orlando with eight games.
41:43And Elijah Martin at the foul line.
41:45And those, you know,
41:46obviously you got Detroit
41:48on the road.
41:50You have Miami here twice.
41:52You have Boston at New York.
41:53Those are critical games
41:55against winning teams
41:57in your own conference.
41:58So, a lot to play for.
42:00And then you got sprinkled in.
42:01You got Sacramento
42:02and Memphis
42:03and then Brooklyn
42:04the last game of the year.
42:05Those are the ones
42:06that you got to get.
42:08And, you know,
42:09a season ago
42:1144
42:12was good for six.
42:14It's going to take more than that
42:15this season for sure.
42:17Well, the Raptors
42:18haven't made the playoffs
42:19for the last five years.
42:21And speaking of
42:22for the last five years,
42:23Grady, nice move
42:24with the left.
42:25We've only had one
42:26winning record
42:27in that stretch.
42:28They were 48-34.
42:30The year they won,
42:30they went to the playoffs.
42:32So, tonight
42:33they clinch a winning record.
42:35And, you know,
42:37since,
42:37since 2020,
42:39it's been a,
42:40it's been a tough sledding
42:41for the Raptor organization.
42:42So, this is a nice step.
42:44Here's Grady,
42:45the two-handed slam.
42:48And a timeout
42:49taken by Orlando.
42:50This one is over
42:52and it's been that way
42:53for a long time.
42:57137-87 all T.O.
43:01Guess who?
43:02Tonight's performance
43:03of the game
43:03presented by Hyundai.
43:04Scottie B.
43:06He has been brilliant.
43:09On a tear.
43:10Sharing the rock.
43:1115 assists.
43:1223 points.
43:14Five boards.
43:15Four games in a row.
43:17Look at that.
43:18Boom.
43:18Hello.
43:19Whatever you want to say.
43:20He's doing it all.
43:24Scottie B.
43:26Four straight games.
43:27Double figure assists.
43:28The ball's in his hands.
43:30Good things happen.
43:32Barnes is the sixth player
43:34in franchise history
43:36to have four straight
43:3710-plus assist games.
43:40Joining Kyle Lowry,
43:42Jose Calderon,
43:43Mark Jackson,
43:44Mike James.
43:45Mike James.
43:46Wow.
43:47And Damon Stoudemire.
43:49I would never think
43:50of Mike James.
43:51Mike liked to shoot.
43:55Mike had one great year here.
43:58Duquesne product.
44:04Here's Carter.
44:06Martin takes it away.
44:08Scottie Bonds
44:09plus 30 tonight,
44:10by the way, too.
44:11Temple the three
44:12spills out.
44:14Two minutes left here.
44:18Raptors,
44:19an impressive victory.
44:23You go back to what you
44:24identified earlier,
44:26the timeout when it was
44:2813-7 by Darko Ryakovic.
44:32And that changed
44:33the tenor tone
44:35of this game.
44:36And, you know,
44:37for the Magic,
44:38they've had to call
44:39those timeouts, too,
44:40and unfortunately
44:41there hasn't been
44:42that response.
44:42So,
44:44that's tough.
44:45small moves me
44:46in his fifth year
44:47trying to
44:49done such a good job
44:50getting it,
44:50you know,
44:51kind of getting his turn
44:52in the program around.
44:53Turning the program around
44:54and then
44:55it's about,
44:56now do you have
44:57that next gear,
44:58can you take it
44:59to the next gear?
44:59And, as you mentioned
45:01earlier,
45:01reports of
45:03Mancaro and
45:04him not getting along
45:06at times,
45:08which
45:09certainly happens.
45:11Grady
45:13back up on the
45:16front court.
45:17Raptors
45:17and he's grabbing
45:19in his rib cage.
45:21Yeah,
45:21he got hit hard.
45:22And, now taking a moment.
45:25Take some deep breaths.
45:27Yeah.
45:28He's trying to push
45:29through it.
45:3011 points tonight
45:32for Grady Dick.
45:3322 minutes.
45:34Ooh,
45:35yeah.
45:36Took a hard hit.
45:38Tough kid
45:39playing through it.
45:40A minute to go.
45:42Raptors
45:43going to come away
45:45with a key victory
45:48here at home
45:49in an unimaginable
45:51fashion
45:52because
45:52with everything
45:54on the line
45:56that was discussed
45:57prior to the game,
45:58you
45:59did not expect
46:00a game
46:02in which the Raptors
46:03led at one point
46:04by
46:0656.
46:08And,
46:08he just blew him out.
46:10Not many things
46:11stunned me
46:12or shocked me
46:13in the NBA.
46:14This one would be
46:15close to that category.
46:17Yeah.
46:19And,
46:20and I'm not being
46:21disrespectful anyway,
46:22shape and form
46:22to the Raptors.
46:24I just,
46:24I know these two teams
46:26and I'm looking at them
46:27and I'm,
46:28there's not that kind of
46:29differential between them,
46:30but,
46:31Greta,
46:31Toronto.
46:32Greta,
46:32Toronto.
46:33They've been great tonight.
46:34They haven't been good,
46:35they've been great.
46:36And that guy,
46:37VanCaro,
46:38was not tonight.
46:39Nine points,
46:41three of 14,
46:42over five for three.
46:43Minus 30.
46:45And,
46:46Barnes was plus 30.
46:47You gotta show up
46:48and be better.
46:49If your organization's gonna
46:51invest in you like that,
46:52you gotta be a lot better.
46:55Raptors victorious.
46:56A dominant victory here tonight
47:00in what is one of the most impressive performances that you will see in the NBA
47:11against a team that's currently in the play-in trying to battle to get to the postseason
47:18and the concerned look of President Jeff Weltman.
47:22Understandably so.
47:23The Raptors without Brandon Ingram and Emmanuel quickly and Colin Murray boils just overtake
47:33the Orlando Magic from the midpoint of the first quarter and just make a resounding statement
47:42here tonight on this Sunday.
47:45Doesn't get any easier.
47:47Detroit's up next.
47:49But the Raptors
47:53got out into the run game.
47:5739 fast break points.
47:59A record 31-0 run by the Raptors.
48:0758 bench points.
48:09And Scotty Barnes with his second consecutive 20-10.
48:16With the 15 assists, a career high.
48:21A.J. Lawson with 14.
48:24Mamu off of the bench with 19.
48:27And the Toronto Raptors.
48:30The standard that
48:32Darko Ryakovich has talked about.
48:35Well, it was shown here tonight.
48:40One thirty nine eighty seven.
48:44The Toronto Raptors dominate the magic in all areas of the game as we send it to Kayla.
48:53Scotty, a career high 15 assists.
48:57When you think about not just how you get going, what comes up for you in terms of making sure
49:02your guys also get going in this one?
49:05Our guys are just super hungry today.
49:08We had some guys that was out.
49:10We needed people to step up.
49:11And I think everybody came in the game, stepped up, played defense, played super hard.
49:16And was all just moving the ball, trying to play with pace.
49:18I'm going to run you through a couple of stats here.
49:20The assists, of course.
49:21You're also the only player in the NBA this season to have over a hundred blocks and over a hundred
49:27steals.
49:29Then you move into eighth all time on the scoring list, surpassing Fred Van Vliet.
49:35I'll ask you simply, what is it that allows you to give more than a hundred percent in every facet
49:41of your game?
49:42I just love basketball.
49:44I love performing in front of everybody in this arena.
49:47I love it here.
49:48So every time I still want to play, I'm going to play super hard, give it my all.
49:52I'm just trying to win.
49:54Lots of pressure coming into this one.
49:56Obviously, the tie break at stake.
49:58What does it say about the standard that you guys established to not only win, but to win in that
50:04type of fashion?
50:06Like I said last game, it's close.
50:08We need every single game.
50:10We've got to come to play.
50:12Congratulations.
