Error 29

Fox succeeded in a free throw, but just after, Lowry made a 3PT. The score increased to 17-19 in favor of the Raptors.

The latter attempts a pick and roll with Gasol, who stays on the line at 3PT. After a missed shot by Fox, Hector tried to fight on the rebound with Gasol, he prevented Gasol from recovering the ball, but the ball fell to Anunoby, who made the pass directly to Lowry. When Hector realized this, Gasol had already fired.

17-22! At that time, the Raptors will show the champion's power to the Kings.

Hector receives the ball at the low post. He has his back to the basket and realizes he can't get Gasol moving. He feints penetration in the key area, and Lowry, who comes to help, leaves his defender free. Hector looks and makes the pass to Hield, who was free at 3PT. 20-22!

The Raptors hit three straight shots. First, Siakam makes a midrange at a 45-degree angle. Then on pick and roll, Gasol puts a dunk, and VanVleet makes a 3PT. 20-29.

Hector manages to force a loose ball from Siakam. He has applied what he has learned, and it is starting to show fruit. But the Kings are still leading. Bogdanovic and Hector attempt a pick and roll. Hector stays on the line at 3PT and receives the ball. He saw Joseph cut to the rim, the Raptors did not expect it, but it was too late; once the pass is gone, the layup is inevitable.

Wharton looks at this pass and thinks: I should exploit his passing ability more; he has a good game vision.

But Toronto responded with another layup from Powel. Hector causes a foul from Gasol, who is at his second fault, he has to go out, and Hector is relieved.

This guy needs to be simplified.

Gasol no longer has the speed he had before, even if he has never been fast, but his game intelligence causes much trouble for Hector. Davis replaced him.

Hector only puts a free throw on 2.

After a missed 3PT shot by Hector, the transition Raptors scored a quick 3PT from Ibaka, and Lowry made a layup before the end of the quarter. Meanwhile, Hector grabbed an offensive rebound, but the Kings are leading 23-36.

Upon the resumption, the Raptors got two free throws. Powel succeeded on 2. Meanwhile, Hector grabbed an offensive rebound, making two free throws from Barnes to see points. Other than that, no points will be scored during the first 2 minutes of the quarter.

Time goes forward as the Raptors lead 34-47. Hector receives a pass in Joseph's corner and makes a 3PT. 37-47.7

He sets up a screen that allows Bogdanovic to shoot quietly. The Raptors take a timeout that allows Hector to rest. We will only see him a minute before the end of the quarter, but he will not do anything productive. At the end of the second quarter, the Raptors had an 8-point lead and led 58-66.

The third quarter starts and Hector is on my bench, he comes in place of Holmes, and there are 6 minutes to play before the end of the quarter. The Raptors still lead by 8 points, 71-79. Hector is having a good match now with 4pts, 3reb 2ast, and 1stl.

A little later, Hector will put a shot at 3PT. Then he tries to defend Ibaka, who came in place of Gasol, which will prevent him from putting a shot, but during the fight for the rebound, Ibaka is stronger than him; he recovers the rebound and makes a layup.

Siakam tries to break through Hector's defense; he attempts a shot but gets two free throws. The Kings' bench is angry because, according to them, there was nothing. Hector is unhappy; he thinks he has done well but has a personal fault on his back.

Siakam, meanwhile, thinks the guy in front of him defended well; he defended him well. But that's not his problem; he gets his two free throws. Ibaka makes a dunk after a placement error by Bogdanovic.

The quarter they ended with a 7-point advantage from Toronto, leading 88-95. Hector will not play the game again; the Kings lost 120-124.

The point gap is small, but the Raptors were never worried in the final quarter. Lowry and Siakam finished with 24 and 23 points, respectively. Ibaka, off the bench, had 21 points.

Barnes led the game in scoring with 26 points, Hield 21 points, and Fox 17 points and 10 assists. But it wasn't enough for a third consecutive win.
