The Raptors once again were go in the first quarter with the Wizards shooting 33 % in the quarter as the Raptors took a 25-19 lead into the second quarter and are lead by Jose Calderon with 8 points, 3 assists, and a board while Kleiza had 4 points,a board, and an assist. The Wizards had JaVale McGee with 6 points a board while John Wall had 4 points with a board but then in the second quarter the Wizards outscored the Raptors by 11 points and out rebounded the Raptors by 10 (15-5) with the Raptors not getting a single offensive board in the quarter. The Wizards were lead by Andray Blatche with 8 points and Nick Young and Al Thornton had 6 each while Andray Blatche and JaVale McGee had 4 boards each in the quarter while the Raptors were lead by Andrea Bargnani had 6 points and Ed Davis had 4 points while 2 assists in the quarter. But the trouble for the Raptors going into the second half down 47-42 is that Andrea is 3 for 11 and DeMar DeRozan is 2 for 9 from the floor and the Wizards put up 28 points up in the second quarter. In the third quarter is a real up and down quarter the Wizards shoot over 60 % (the same team that shoot 33 % in the first quarter) in the quarter and have a 10 point lead near the end of the quarter and the Raptors got almost 5 points in the last 5 seconds of the quarter with a Davis dunk. Then newcomer Sundiata Gaines hitting a 3 after a steal at the buzzer but video showed it was after the buzzer so it did not count and the Raptors are down 7 into the fourth. The Raptors were lead by Amir Johnson had 8 points while Jose Calderon had 7 points and 6 assists in the quarter to give him 17 points and 11 assists while for the Wizards Nick Young had 11 straight and 18 of the Wizards 28 third quarter points. The Raptors tried once again to come back in the fourth but just could not get the right stop and if they did they would throw the ball away or take an untimely shoot so the Wizards won 98-95 with Sundiata Gaines missing a long distance 3 to tie the game at the buzzer. The Raptors were lead by Andrea Bargnani who had 12 of his 25 in the quarter while Davis had 5 and Calderon had 4 points along with 4 assists while Wizards were lead by Nick Young with 7 points and Andray Blatche with 6 points. Like the Raptors are very good at is not play to their level in winnable games and looks like a wait for the seaon to be over kind of thing which is not fun at all and Nick Young was an one man wrecking crew (29 points, 6 boards, 4 assists) especially in the third quarter while Jose Calderon was all that (21 points, 15 assists, and 9 boards) only needing another board for thriple double. Andrea had 7 boards while Amir had 10 and Ed Davis had 8 in the game while he also had 15 points while Amir had 12 and the Wizards had to monsters on the glass JaVale McGee (22) and Andray Blatche (13).
