  “Our second-unit guys coming off the bench, they did an outstanding job,” said Rajakovic. “It was about character.”At one point, I realized the teams hadn’t left the Raptors’ offensive side of the court for quite some time. Murray-Boyles kept on grabbing offensive rebounds, resetting possessions, and the Raptors kept on drawing free throws. Only to miss the live one,

• Raptors bench carries the load in comeback win over Magic

  30-12-2025 15:17 via raptorsrepublic.com
  On the second night of a back-to-back, Toronto once again had to dig deep, and really kick, scream, and fight their way to a victory. After pulling off a wild comeback against Golden State, Toronto found themselves down 21 at one point against Orlando, and again, they did not panic. It would have been easy for the team to mail it in with the excuse of playing two nights in a row, but last night they decided that failure was not an option. Toronto star players such as Scottie Barnes and Brandon I

• Raptors Film Room: Why the bench players changed everything vs Magic

  30-12-2025 06:51 via raptorsrepublic.com
  The Toronto Raptors pulled off a miraculous 21-point comeback on the second night of a back-to-back versus the Orlando Magic. Their bench led it, mainly Jamal Shead, Gradey Dick, Collin Murray-Boyles, and Ja’Kobe Walter, who combined for 50 points.
  I broke down the bench spurring on the comeback, Shead’s brilliance, and what this means for the Raptors moving forward:

  30-12-2025 04:26 via raptorsrepublic.com
  The Toronto Raptors once again came back from the brink of death, this time orchestrating a huge 10-point comeback in the fourth quarter.
  Jamal Shead was the energizer all night long as Toronto was down 20+ points at one point in this game, but he refused to let the Raptors lose tonight.

  The Toronto Raptors seemingly decided to take the game off against the Orlando Magic. It’s understandable. They finished their previous game late, with the first leg of their back-to-back going into overtime. It was an exciting win. A historic win! We can lose our purpose after achieving our short-term goals. So it’s only human to follow up big wins with letdown performances.So the Raptors came out flatter than a stingray and were seemingly unperturbed by an early deficit. But not ev

  Welcome to Raptors Roundup! A weekly recap of everything going on in the world of the Toronto Raptors.This week, the Raptors were a bit of a bouncy ball. After tough back-to-back losses to end last week, the Raptors bounced back in a big way against the Miami Heat, a team they have handled easily in both matchups this year. The problem with bouncy balls in this context is after they bounce back, they have to come down. And the Raptors came down hard against the Washington Wizards, losing in a bi

  Grit is not something that can be taught, it is a quality that someone either has, or doesn’t have. The ability to be faced with seemingly insurmountable odds, and keep fighting, and ultimately achieve your goal is special, and that is what Toronto did against Golden State yesterday. When it seemed like they could not overcome Stephen Curry’s onslaught, and that this game would just be another addition to the loss column, the Dinos collected themselves and fought to win the game.Scot
