At the end of the day, a loss is a loss. It's just another digit in the Win/Loss column. However, how the Raptors 905 took their sixth straight loss at the hands of the Westchester Knicks was unacceptable, trailing by as much as 39 points before making it look decent with a 125-101 final score.
Ron Harper Jr. and Kevin Obanor had 20 points apiece for the Raptors 905, with Obanor being the lone 905er with less than three turnovers for this game. Mo Gueye added 17 points, nine boards, and six blocks. Makur Maker had a bit of a bounce-back game, finishing with 12 points and nine boards.
The story of the night was the Raptors 905's ability to turn the ball over in every possible manner, committing 30 (20 in the first half) turnovers leading to 52 points off turnovers for the Knicks. This iteration of Raptors 905 set the franchise record for most turnovers in a game, beating the 28 turnovers made by the Fred VanVleet/Axel Toupane/Bruno Caboclo 905 team against Long Island Nets back in 2016. The Raptors also allowed several wide-open perimeter shots, allowing the Knicks to make 15 trifectas on 38.5% shooting.
