TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors find themselves in what forward Pascal Siakam calls a"must-win" situation early in the NBA season.
Two of the Raptors three losses have been games they let slip away. Toronto was up 17 with 4:58 left in the fourth quarter before falling to Chicago 104-103 in overtime last Friday. On Monday night, the Raptors were on the wrong end of a late 11-4 run, losing 99-91 to previously winless Portland."I think obviously a couple of games there where I felt like we played well, we played well enough to win but we didn’t rebound well enough," he said.
"Defence been good but also like with our offensive struggles, you know, we need our defence to be even better," Rajakovic said."It's early in the year, we’re watching a lot of film as well and in the practice today we worked on both offence and defence." "We allowed those guys last night to have 13 offensive rebounds and that's a recurring problem for us, defensive rebounding. We're really good in open court and in transition, but those are 13 wasted opportunities that we didn't have a chance to to go and run and then score easy."
