"It was an 11:00 a.m. school day game for the Greensboro Swarm, but no matter the start time, the Raptors 905 just keep on winning, improving to 5-0 with the 124-119 win on Wednesday afternoon. The win marked the fifth straight for the 905, who are off to their best start in franchise history. With the game starting before noon, it seemed like the 905 were still asleep in the first quarter. The team's elite defence was unrecognizable in the first quarter, as the Swarm were consistently getting good looks."
"Greensboro jumped out to an early 11-5 lead, with two-way Alijah Martin scoring all of the 905's points early. The Swarm kept the pressure on, eventually pushing their lead all the way out to 23-9 thanks to Terrell Brown Jr. and Keyontae Johnson. The duo combined for 20 of the team's eventual 35 points in the first quarter, as Brown was hitting some tough turnaround rainbow jumpers, while Johnson was using his size, speed, and athleticism to get out in transition."
Raptors 905 improved to 5-0 with a 124-119 victory over the Greensboro Swarm, marking the franchise's best start with five straight wins. The 905 began slowly, surrendering an early 23-9 deficit as the Swarm found consistent looks. Terrell Brown Jr. and Keyontae Johnson combined for 20 of Greensboro's 35 first-quarter points while Mississauga went scoreless for over three minutes late in the frame before a Tyreke Key and-one. Coach Drew Jones turned to the bench earlier than usual, and the 905 allowed their most points in a quarter this season, trailing 66-56 at halftime.
