This is complete domination by the Wizards on both ends of the court. Block, fast break and a layup to go up by 23 points.
And at this moment, at the end of the third quarter Washington is shooting lights out from the field and from downtown. And meanwhile Toronto is clueless, and they look like they couldn’t hit the ocean if they were standing on a boat.
And in the middle of the fourth, with a 16 point lead, Kuzma, Poole and company probably chalked this one as a win already.
What followed however was one of the most furious comebacks in the history of the Raptors franchise, and nobody was ready for it.
It all started with this pick and roll. Kuzma and Jones don’t communicate and bump into each other. No help defense and an easy bucket.
Next trip down, it’s Kuzma again on defense, and despite giving Siakam a big cushion, once Paskal attacks, Kyle is slow to react and Toronto gets another bucket plus the foul.
Toronto is starting to believe that they can make a run here, and the Wizards are making it easier for them on the other end with a couple of unnecessary quick triggers, and some nonchalant finishes like this one.
But nothing compares to what Kuzma did. On this scramble just watch what he does as he completely abandons the play, running all the way to his bench to signal for a replay. And in the meantime, the play continues, so he just inexplicably allowed for a 5 on 4 possession for the Raptors and Scottie Barnes gets an easy finish.
So now all of a sudden it’s just an 8 point game with a lot left. The crowd gets into it now, and the defense is suffocating.
Possession after possession Toronto clamped down their opponents, and there was no way the Wizards could score.
The Raptors used some of those misses to storm out in transition and get the crowd even more hyped.
Then Jordan Poole started doing Jordan Poole things, attempting this layup as if he’s in an all star game and not in the middle of a close game.
And moments later we got this defense from him and his teammates. Seriously, what is this?
The lack of sense of urgency here is astonishing. They just watched Barnes get all the way to the rim and finish.
Only a 2 possession game, and right now it’s chaos. The Raptors are flying all over the court defensively, getting the steal and this is yet another fast break.
Once they came all the way back, there was no letting up for Toronto as they execute another suffocating defensive possession securing the miss and going the other way with the chance for the lead.
From the brink of the abyss, Toronto completed the comeback and now they need just 1 stop to do the unthinkable.
Thing is, Washington made it easy for them, as Kuzma steps out of bounds and it looked like they gave up right there as you can see how reluctantly Poole is chasing here as he needs to foul and stop the clock.
Nevertheless, Schroder calmly knocks down both free throws, to secure the win for Toronto as this team shows once again why you should never celebrate too early in the NBA.

Why does everyone sound like cosgrave?andy hoops this dude and who know bow many more channels he has
Washington could be up 40 and still lose. Worst defensive team in the NBA
Clearly baddies were not present
Good to see Raptors in your videos!
Poole is a dude who just got lucky. I am still of the opinion that he really isn't a good NBA player.
and here i was betting kuz 35.5 over with 7 min left😭😭
That’s an unbelievable amount of choking.
never declare victory until the final bell rings and siakam didn't hear no bell😊
wes refusing to use challenges and not bringing in gafford is straight up violence
you know what, I think Kuzma and Pool are the same type of young players, they played with greats and gets over confident over their skills and eventually reach their plateau. I feel like if Pool does not realize this earlier and put in that 200% effort, his peak will be just another Kuzma……
What do you expect from Kuzma and Poole Amazon duo 😂
Wizards missed the tank for Wemby now they're tanking for Bronny
I was at the game, insane game
this wizards team is a joke
The definition of TRYING to lose. Isn't it too early in the season for tanking? Hold my beer, says Washington
bro i was in this game, the come back was insane !!!!
You want Mr. "No Look Brick" to stop celebrating early? 😂😂😂😂
Pascal traveling at 0:50 is more NFL than basketball
Jordan Poole- overrated and overhyped by the Golden State Warriors- just an average player getting attention like he's a superstar
pointless video, this is some serious tanking, the NBA should do something
not one raptor starter made a 3 that game btw 😂
I want to blame the wizards for that loss but The way Toronto played defense made me realize it was their Defense that made them win the game
The raptors have been a bit of an anomaly this year, somewhat of a stranger things of basketball teams. Loose to the likes of Chicago and Portland. Then dominate Milwauke, and go on to hand dallas there first home lose of the season, only to get udderly obliviated by Boston (not so strange) and then allowd a Washington team to go up 20+ points, lead by arguably the greatest backcourt the league has ever seen, (sarcasm) the island boys, aka the meme Brothers, only for the raptors to go on a 23 to 1 run and completely erase the wizards 22 point lead In a matter of minutes. The nba is in a strange place this season.
Bro I hope Poole gets booted out the League this man is ruining the game of Basketball
Poole 🤣🤣🤣
The Washington Whoopsies 😂
WIZARDS ARE JOKE
was thinking about the last time i saw heat check, bro disappeared for months ? yo what happened to him
the biggest tank job in the NBA rn, lmfao imagine dan gaffford has not sniffed the 4thQ when he dominated the paint offensively and defensively. RIGGED
I remember Morris Peterson against Wizards way way back. Lol
Pool sucks!!!!
excited for the young core of toronto if they can all make good jumps
Lol Barnes smile at the end.
So you can celebrate early in other sports??
Thought being traded to the wizard would humbled him
Poverty Poole
