"Greensboro cruised to a 141-106 wire-to-wire win, sweeping the back-to-back set in Mississauga as the G League's No. 1-ranked offence proved its superiority over the No. 2-ranked defence. And while it was an even larger margin of victory - the Swarm's largest this season - than the 12-point romp 24 hours prior, the formula for dinosaur extinction was similar."
"The 905 struggled to match the Swarm's size and physicality for much of the game, specifically at the basket, finshing minus-14 on the glass (45-31) en route to giving up 66 points in the paint for the second game in a row. For what it's worth, the junior dinos managed to keep the interior battle a bit closer on Sunday, ending up minus-14 in the paint compared to a whomping minus-20 on Saturday."
"Greensboro's offensive efficiency - 58.4/47.2/91.7 per cent splits from the field, three and the free throw line - was simply too much to handle for the 905's defence, and their offence struggled to keep up as well. The 905 ended up shooting just 40.0 per cent from the field and 25 per cent from beyond the arc."
The Raptors 905 suffered back-to-back losses to the Greensboro Swarm, with the second game resulting in a 141-106 defeat. Despite coach Drew Jones' rallying message to "seek and destroy," the 905 struggled to match Greensboro's size and physicality, particularly in the paint where they were outrebounded 45-31 and allowed 66 points. Greensboro's offensive efficiency of 58.4% from the field, 47.2% from three, and 91.7% from the free throw line overwhelmed Toronto's defense. The 905's offense also underperformed, shooting 40% from the field and 25% from three. Alijah Martin led the 905 with 22 points, five rebounds, and five assists despite turning his ankle early in the game.
