"Step one. We're in, now we gotta finish the job, see if we can finish with home court. So, we're not content with just clinching. It's an awesome accomplishment for the organization, for our guys, but we got our sights on something much bigger."
"The 905 showed resiliency, fighting back from a double-digit deficit in an atmosphere that was described as 'playoff intensity' to win a 123-122 slugfest over Motor City. The 905 increased their buffer to two games and are now better positioned to secure at least one more at Paramount Fine Foods Centre."
"After the 905 went down by a game-high 11 in the third quarter, their defence tightened, starting to create turnovers the way it's meant to as players aggressively pinched into driving lanes."
The Raptors 905 have secured a playoff berth with five games remaining before the G League playoffs begin on March 31. The team aims to compete for their sixth championship title and first since 2021-22. Following three NBA call-ups and subsequent roster changes, the 905 seek to prove themselves after a recent 3-6 stretch. Coach Drew Jones emphasizes the team's ambitions extend beyond clinching, targeting home-court advantage in the Eastern Conference. In a crucial matchup against Motor City Cruise, the 905 demonstrated resilience by overcoming a double-digit deficit to win 123-122, increasing their playoff positioning buffer to two games and improving their chances of securing additional home games at Paramount Fine Foods Centre.
