The Raptors 905 battled through a difficult night at the Mississauga Sports and Entertainment Centre but ultimately fell 134–106 to the Greensboro Swarm on Thursday evening.

Coming off Wednesday’s 120–112 victory over Greensboro, the 905 were looking to complete a two-game sweep. 

However, injuries and missing personnel made the rematch a much tougher challenge.

Game Summary

Raptors 905 entered the contest shorthanded, missing Tyreke Key, Malachi Smith and Kevin McCullar Jr.

Despite the absences, Toronto showed plenty of energy and competed through the first half. 

The 905 trailed by just 13 points at halftime and continued trying to generate offence through transition opportunities and aggressive defensive pressure.

The third quarter proved decisive. 

Greensboro increased its defensive pressure, found open looks from three-point range and began extending its advantage.

The Swarm eventually pushed their lead to 30 points, putting the game out of reach.

Key Storylines

Injuries hurt Toronto: Missing three important contributors significantly affected the 905’s offensive production.

Jamarion Sharp: Provided early energy around the basket with several dunks.

Nimari Burnett: Delivered athletic plays in transition and helped Toronto generate scoring opportunities.

Greensboro’s shooting: The Swarm’s three-point shooting created major problems for the 905.

Hannes Steinbach: Continued his impressive performance against Toronto, finishing with 21 points, 16 rebounds and three blocks.

Overall Assessment

It was a difficult evening for Raptors 905. 

The team’s injury situation and lack of available scoring options proved costly against a Greensboro team that took advantage of its opportunities.

Toronto will need better perimeter defence, improved shooting and healthier personnel to get back into the win column.

What’s Next

The Raptors 905 turn their attention to their upcoming matchup against the Capital City Go-Go on November 14.

Final Verdict: A disappointing 28-point defeat, but the 905 will have an opportunity to regroup and respond in their next outing
