Raptors give away close winnable game against Trail Blazers
Briefly

The Toronto Raptors faced off against the Portland Trail Blazers, suffering a narrow 105-102 defeat. Despite a strong opening performance led by Jakob Poeltl and Jamal Shead, who showcased a suffocating defense, the game turned as key players were pulled in the fourth quarter. Portland capitalized on offensive rebounds and sharp-shooting from Anfernee Simons and Toumani Camara to stay competitive. The Raptors' inability to maintain their early momentum and poor shot selection hindered their chance for victory, raising questions about their strategic decisions on the court.
Toronto jumped out to an early 22-6 lead, their defense suffocating the young Trail Blazers.
Toronto has its priorities in order clearly, but what it's doing to the on court product can't be good.
