"Honourable Mention: Scottie Barnes' smart free throw miss We make it back-to-back weeks of honourable mentions as Scottie and the Raptors played in an epic overtime win against the Philadelphia 76ers on the first night of a back-to-back. Barnes had a humongous 31 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists and made a really heads-up play to intentionally miss the free throw in the dying seconds of the game to secure the W."
"As I mentioned in the honourable mentions, Scottie was awesome in this game, and this dunk was a great energizer for the Raptors team, who battled hard towards overtime. Jamal Shead sets him up with a beautiful drive and kick, too. Scottie's pump fake leads to a nice blow-by and a dunk with two 76ers defenders around him in the paint."
"Speaking of energizing plays, the Raptors were no short of highlight reel moments in this epic fourth quarter with Philadelphia, as Murray-Boyles finished a monstrous putback. He had a great game as he had a double-double with 17 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals. This was the best game of his career by far, and he's done a great job of filling the void at the five left by Jakob Poeltl, even if he is undersized for the position."
Week six's Top 10 Plays focuses on a strong run of Raptors basketball, including a nail-biter in Charlotte and a blowout on the second night of a back-to-back versus the Philadelphia 76ers that produced a Kyle Lowry moment, though none of that blowout's plays made the list. Honourable mention goes to Scottie Barnes for intentionally missing a free throw to secure an overtime win; he finished with 31 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. Highlighted plays include Scottie's pump-fake blow-by dunk set up by Jamal Shead, Murray-Boyles' monstrous putback during a 17-15 double-double performance, and a risky Gradey-Scottie in-air connection.
