"The win marked the largest opening night victory in franchise history, but Mississauga's team wasn't done there. They would complete the Skyhawks sweep in dominant fashion, taking down College Park for the second straight game, 124-92, setting a franchise record for the best point differential through two games (+68) in the process. The 905 have also scored the second-most points through the first pair of games in the team's 11-year history (254)."
"Lawson has come out of the gate aggressively on offence, just like he was last season, averaging 22.0 points and 3.5 assists while shooting 48.3 per cent from the field, 33.3 per cent from distance, - on a whopping 7.5 attempts per game - and 66.7 per cent from the free throw line. It's been about what you would expect from Lawson: he's taking and making his spot-up shots from outside, getting out in transition, and using his speed to beat defenders."
The Raptors 905 opened the season with decisive victories over the College Park Skyhawks, winning 130-94 and 124-92. The results produced the largest opening-night win in franchise history and a franchise record +68 point differential through two games, with 254 points scored across the pair. Early success has been driven by A.J. Lawson alongside Chucky Hepburn and Alijah Martin. Lawson is averaging 22.0 points and 3.5 assists while shooting 48.3 percent from the field, 33.3 percent from three on 7.5 attempts, and 66.7 percent from the line. Coach Drew Jones is challenging Lawson to expand as a secondary ball-handler and playmaker.
