Other than Kyle Lowry, who couldn’t seem to miss down the stretch, the Raptors went cold at the worst possible time

They just didn’t do it for long enough.

Other than Lowry, who couldn’t seem to miss down the stretch, the Raptors went cold at the worst possible time, putting up a 5-for-19 performance through the first 11 minutes of the fourth as Bucks erased an eight-point lead after three. For the whole of the fourth, Lowry was 5-for-7 and his teammates were 0-for-15.

The opposing coaches made the same point over and over, mentioning that the Raptors had been the best three-point shooting team in the NBA after the trade to acquire Marc Gasol in early February. They said this so much that you started to wonder if it was a subtle taunt: ‘You know, this is the best shooting team in the league. Oh, they were 5-for-25 from deep? I hadn’t noticed.’
