 | Luis Scola, PF 30 MIN | 10-15 FG | 2-2 3FG | 0-0 FT | 5 REB | 1 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | PTS | 22 +/- Had a really strong offensive night. Was quiet on the boards by his standards. Mostly helped well when Valanciunas needs to leave Gobert, but his man-defense on Favors was a little lacking. |  |
 | DeMarre Carroll, SF 35 MIN | 2-8 FG | 2-6 3FG | 1-2 FT | 6 REB | 0 AST | 2 STL | 1 BLK | 1 TO | PTS | 7 +/- A very quiet night. Wasn’t himself off the ball, it didn’t seem, and coming off of plantar fasciitis, 35 minutes on the second night of a back-to-back probably wore him down. |  |
 | Jonas Valanciunas, C 33 MIN | 5-10 FG | 0-0 3FG | 1-1 FT | 9 REB | 0 AST | 1 STL | 2 BLK | 1 TO | PTS | 11 +/- Probably lost the overall battle against Gobert but acquitted himself better than maybe could have been expected. A few lapses in pick-and-roll defense but it’s tough navigating Gobert lobs in those scenarios. |  |
 | Kyle Lowry, PG 37 MIN | 6-17 FG | 1-7 3FG | 7-7 FT | 3 REB | 6 AST | 3 STL | 0 BLK | 5 TO | PTS | 20 +/- Didn’t shoot particularly well, especially from outside, and didn’t look to pass pretty much at all in the second half. He played 76 minutes within 24 hours. Disagree with going to a lone PG late, but that’s not on him. |  |
 | DeMar DeRozan, SG 35 MIN | 6-15 FG | 0-1 3FG | 2-2 FT | 3 REB | 6 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 2 TO | PTS | 14 +/- The full DeRozan experience. He facilitated well for others early but got tunnel vision in the fourth quarter, forcing way too many shots. Two free-throw attempts against the league’s most foul-prone team is just weird. That dunk, though. |  |
 | James Johnson, PF 15 MIN | 2-2 FG | 0-0 3FG | 0-0 FT | 1 REB | 1 AST | 0 STL | 1 BLK | 2 TO | PTS | 4 +/- Solid defensive minutes and a few really heady plays on offense. He doesn’t know the team’s playbook, I don’t think, but it’s good that he’s in the rotation. | |
 | Patrick Patterson, PF 16 MIN | 0-3 FG | 0-3 3FG | 0-0 FT | 5 REB | 0 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | PTS | 0 +/- Back to the ice-cold shooting, Patterson at least crashed the glass well by his standards to make up for it. |  |
 | Bismack Biyombo, PF 15 MIN | 1-2 FG | 0-0 3FG | 1-2 FT | 2 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | PTS | 3 +/- Gobert is what some people seem to believe Biyombo is. Tonight he was every Raptors backup center ever. Other than a few shot contests, mostly invisible, and he’s becoming really difficult to work around on offense. |  |
 | Cory Joseph, PG 22 MIN | 2-5 FG | 0-1 3FG | 4-4 FT | 3 REB | 0 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | PTS | 8 +/- A solid, if somewhat quiet game for Joseph. Not playing him down the stretch was curious given he and Lowry were playing well together earlier and have generally killed teams together. His defense is terrific. |  |
 | Norman Powell, SG 3 MIN | 0-3 FG | 0-0 3FG | 0-0 FT | 0 REB | 0 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | PTS | 0 +/- The three missed field goals stand out, of course, but he was his usual aggressive self, including an on-ball steal. Tough to judge in three minutes. | |
 | Terrence Ross, SF DNP MIN | FG | 3FG | FT | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TO | PTS | +/- GAHHH ROSS SO INCONSISTENT RABBLERABBLE |  |
 | Delon Wright, PG DNP COACH’S DECISION MIN | FG | 3FG | FT | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TO | PTS | +/- Sucks he didn’t manage to get some run back in Utah. There was no good time for it. Shrug. |  |
 | Dwane Casey Not his best showing. Disagreed with sticking with the starters instead of the closing unit late. Having to burn his final timeout because the team couldn’t inbound, only to run an ISO for DeRozan ATO, is bad. Doing it two nights in a row is awful. | |
Five Things We Saw
- The Raptors went from playing the league’s fastest-paced team to it’s slowest. The slower pace was probably a positive for a tired Raptors team, but that drastic change in styles must be tough to adjust to.
- Important reminder: The Raptors were on the second night of a road back-to-back, having played late and tight against the defending champs, then traveling through a time zone and playing again less than 24 hours later. This looked like a schedule loss beforehand.
- The late-game play-calling was pretty bad. DeRozan seeing fit to jack contested mid-range twos over Derrick Favors and Rudy Gobert without the benefit of having created space was worse.
- Casey said after the game the Raptors “had to match their size” because the Jazz stayed big late. Counter: No, you didn’t.
- Sigh. Whatever.
