"The game was knotted 110-110 with less than 15 seconds remaining, and the 905 inbounded the ball to Alijah Martin, who drove into the paint and lost his footing before throwing up an off-balance and heavily contested jumper. And just as the 1,957 in attendance and everyone watching at home were getting ready for overtime, Jonathan Mogbo corralled the air-ball and whipped a touch pass to Lawson in the corner, who casually buried his fourth triple of the game."
""Just win. Go out every game, play our hardest, win, and for me to just be the best AJ Lawson I can be every day ... show that I'm an NBA talent and NBA level player." That's what the Brampton, Ont. native said following Game 1 of the G League season when I asked him what he was hoping to accomplish after re-joining his hometown Raptors 905 shortly after being waived by the big club."
AJ Lawson returned to his hometown Raptors 905 after being waived by the parent NBA club, setting goals to win, play hard, and prove NBA-level ability. Lawson delivered a game-winning three to lift the 905 to a 113-110 victory over the Westchester Knicks, preserving a 4-0 start for the team. The decisive sequence saw Alijah Martin miss an off-balance shot, Jonathan Mogbo secure the rebound and find Lawson in the corner for the final triple. Lawson finished with a team-high 22 points, four assists and four steals, maintaining scoring consistency across games.
