"Quickley's defence continues to show real improvement in transition, where his aggression forced a turnover early. Early in the first quarter, he stood his ground impressively when Jabari Smith Jr. tried to post him up, showcasing added strength and discipline. Offensively, however, it was a rough night - his trademark floater deserted him, missing a few he normally converts with ease. Quickley still hasn't quite found his rhythm on that end of the floor."
"Outside of his perimeter shooting, Barrett didn't make a major impact tonight. He hit a few key threes but struggled to influence other areas of the game. He briefly left for the locker room midway through the third quarter but fortunately returned before the end of the frame. Easily his worst outing so far, as he has been Mr.reliable prior to this game."
"Ingram started the game with a questionable perimeter foul on Jabari Smith Jr., but he quickly redeemed himself by scoring Toronto's first five points. The strong first-quarter trend continues - Ingram has been consistently setting the tone early. He was perfect from the field until his eighth attempt, finally missing just before halftime. Unlike the San Antonio matchup, Ingram maintained his scoring touch throughout the entire game, serving as Toronto's most reliable offensive option."
Quickley’s defence improved in transition, his aggression forced an early turnover and he stood up to Jabari Smith Jr. with added strength and discipline. Offensively Quickley struggled as his trademark floater failed to connect and he has not found his rhythm; the defence later collapsed allowing blowbys on closeouts. Barrett hit a few key threes but made little overall impact, briefly leaving for the locker room before returning. Ingram set the tone early, scoring Toronto’s first five points and remaining the most reliable offensive option. Barnes regained form with strong three-point shooting, while Shead showed driving aggression often ending in blocks.
