Norman Powell was the offensive standout of the match as he went 11 for 15 en route to 27 points plus two steals. What’s more, he also racked up four assists, the most he’s had since back in December of 2024.
Meanwhile, the Raptors unfortunately witnessed the end of their five-game winning streak on Friday. The game between them and the Bulls wasn’t a total blowout, but with the Raptors falling 122-106 at home it was darn close to turning into one.
