OG shows why his ceiling is so high in helping Raps rebound from bad loss ... Tough talk leads to bounce-back night ... Powell cherishes Black Mamba's legacy

OG Anunoby needed 12 attempts from the field to produce 21 points, an evening of efficiency that needs to be summoned more often from someone generally regarded as the Raptors’ premier perimeter defender.

Heat is on Raptors to find better offence in Friday's rematch vs. Miami

Until they find a more consistent way to move the ball to the open man, get into the paint by using their dribble or flash to the high post when zones are thrown at them, the Raptors seem intent to live and die with their three-point shooting.

WOLSTAT: Raptors asking a lot of Lowry, Siakam, VanVleet because of lack of depth

If we’ve learned anything from Toronto’s recent meetings with the Southeast Division, it’s this team doesn’t like when opponents give them a taste of their own medicine, namely various zone defences. Even a smart, low-turnover group like the Raptors has been mostly confused and off when faced with heavy zone looks. That was also the case last year, but it’s stood out against both Charlotte and Miami, two teams that throw more zones at opposing offences than most. The result for the Raptors, too often, has been confusion, breakdowns and/or bad shot attempts. That’s going to need to improve. Fred VanVleet said afterward they probably need to attack the basket a bit more (and that could be said when they’re facing zones or more traditional defences, they’re near the bottom in paint scoring).

So, is tank season over? Just joking. As noted earlier, the Raptors were never a terrible team, despite their early record. The team’s net rating was not that of a bad team. They looked like a .500 group, at worse, but more realistically, a high-40s win team in a regular year.
