"What a road-trip. Man this was some of the most fun basketball the Raptors have played in years. First with a historic win over the Golden State Warriors, then rolling through the Sacramento Kings and Portland Trailblazers before heading to Oklahoma City to take on the reigning champion Thunder, toppling them in a down-to-the-wire team win. The Raptors finished the road trip 4-0,"
"Immanuel Quickley. The most efficient forty point game of all-time. Call five is alive. Seven of eight from beyond the arc, hitting catch-and-shoot threes with incredible precision. Eleven free throws, all hand-crafted, bending defenders to his will. Quickley had the game of his life and the result was historic. His performance started early, spurring the Raptors to a 41-28 first quarter leveraged by Scottie Barnes' relentless pursuit of the rim and Brandon Ingram's silky-smooth jumpers."
