Eric Smith and Paul Jones recap the Raptors' 118-113 loss to the Trail Blazers, and discuss how the game was somewhat a tale of two halves (0:46). They break down how they've now lost two straight games against two of the worst offences in the NBA, how the Blazers got deep into the paint early and often, and how there's still a lot opportunity for growth for Scottie Barnes after two late mistakes (4:53). Afterwards, Sportsnet's Michael Grange discusses the cracks beginning to show in the defence, how there isn't a very large margin for error with this young team, and examines the play of guys like Dalano Banton and Malachi Flynn (23:04).
