"The Raptors 905 looked like a team without its point guard on Tuesday. Sure, they had 30 assists, but few created truly advantageous shots for teammates. Instead, the offence often stagnated with Chucky Hepburn out due to right knee soreness, and they committed a regular-season-high 19 turnovers. But the 905 are a remarkably dominant team this season - their only loss came in the Showcase Cup Final and it doesn't count towards their regular-season record -"
"Olivier Sarr has looked increasingly confident around the rim lately, grabbing more boards than usual in his last two games, and he stood tall with a couple blocks early in the first quarter. He also hammered down a dunk on a baseline back cut. The 905 got more quality play from their bigs as Martin found Julian Reese slipping to the rim for a slam."
Raptors 905 struggled to run consistently without point guard Chucky Hepburn due to right knee soreness, recording a regular-season-high 19 turnovers despite 30 assists. Facing a 2-17 Westchester Knicks team with a poor offensive rating, the 905 relied on late-arriving shot making to secure a 120-109 victory. AJ Lawson posted 21 points and 10 rebounds, while Alijah Martin nearly recorded a triple-double with 19 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. Olivier Sarr displayed growing confidence inside, and bigs contributed with slams and defensive blocks. AJ Hoggard provided efficient bench scoring; David Roddy added rebounds and assists but shot inefficiently and turned the ball over.
