Loads of issues simply haven’t gone the Raptors’ approach, however Fred VanVleet is aware of that this isn’t the time to be pointing fingers. Talking with reporters following the loss that knocks their file to a mediocre 16-22, VanVleet revealed that there hasn’t been a lot discord of their locker room regardless of their uneven performances. “It’s a type of issues the place it’s not one individual’s fault. We all certainly got to play better as a unit, as a team. For the most part, there’s not much finger pointing or blaming each other because we’re all out there together. We fight together,” VanVleet mentioned, per Toronto Star Sports activities.

A pleasant bounce again from VanVleet tonight, which tops a really brief listing of vibrant spots after 3 uninspiring quarters of basketball. He’s scored or assisted on 39 of the Raptors’ 59 factors. Bucks lead 63-59. – 9:28 PM

The Raptors have missed their first 13 pictures and gone practically 5 minutes with out scoring. Some boos from a stressed crowd as VanVleet pulled up and missed his final 3. Luckily, the Bucks are simply 3-for-8 with a pair turnovers and solely lead 7-0. – 7:52 PM
