This was not a game the Raptors would have won last season.

Shot 58% at the rim, 44% on the fast break, gave up 17 points off 17 turnovers.

They were down 108-106 with 1:41 remaining. Held the Hornets to 0-for-5 shooting the rest of the way. 3 blocks in the last 37 seconds.

Victor Wembanyama has 43 blocks in 12 games this season, 6 more than the Pelicans have as a team in 13 games.

Raptors are sixth in the NBA in offensive rating this season (!!). They're scoring 118.2 points per 100 possessions, up from 109.6 last season.

That's 8.6 points per 100 more this year than last, the largest increase in the NBA this season.

Sad fact: Injury-ravaged Indiana’s 1-12 start is the worst for a team that reached the prior season’s NBA Finals since Milwaukee’s 1-12 start in 1974-75.

Fun fact: Cooper Flagg has played 441 minutes for the Mavs this season, more than Anthony Davis has in his Mavs career (415).

Raptors were 2-45 when going down by 10 or more last season.

They came back from down 10 tonight, their fourth double-digit comeback win this season.

Raptors are 4-5 when trailing by 10.

Raptors are 3 games over .500 for the first time since the end of the 2021-22 season.

6 road wins. They didn't win 6 road games until March 2nd last season.

37-year-old Steph Curry is the third-oldest player to record back-to-back 40-point games in NBA history, after Michael Jordan & LeBron James.

He's the oldest to have back-to-back 45-point games since Jordan in 2001.

Giannis Antetokounmpo assisted on 14 of the Bucks' 20 threes tonight.

His 18 assists led to FIFTY points.

Oso Ighodaro was +52 in 26 minutes last night. That's the third best plus/minus on record by someone who logged fewer than 30 minutes in a game

I asked Darko about playing Shead and Quickley together before the game. Here's what he said.

Some small sample size theatre but the Raptors have a +12.7 net rating & a 134.6 offensive rating in 94 minutes with Ingram, Barnes & Barrett on court together this month.

-23.9 net , 101.3 offensive rating in their first 101 min together. -7.1 net rating in 195 minutes total.

The last 33 seconds of game time in Warriors/Spurs last night took 23 minutes of real time to play out.

Nikola Jokic has his fourth career 50-point game & he did it in just 3 quarters.

Coming into tonight, Nuggets were 0-3 when Jokic scores 50 or more!!
