The Raptors 905 faced Cleveland Charge in a challenging back-to-back, winning the first game but losing 130-116 in the second. Coach Drew Jones noted the difficulties of adjusting to the opposition's gameplay after an initial win. The team's offense showed promise early on with effective passing and movement but waned as the game progressed. Despite leading by as much as 11 points, their inability to adapt to the Charge's zone defense ultimately led to their downfall in the second match.
The second night of back-to-backs are inherently difficult. Playing a back-to-back against the same team adds the wrinkle of adjusting to how the opposition played you the day before.
I thought we settled. The zone paralyzed us a little bit. We talked about it, we prepared for it, but we have to do better.
