In Friday's loss to the Bulls, Scottie Barnes had a fantastic night, putting up 22 points, ten rebounds, ten assists and two blocks in 39 minutes of playing time. 

The Raptors have a solid team and are coming off a season where they were the ninth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 41-41 record. 

However, they lost to the Bulls in their first play-in tournament game, so they missed the 2023 NBA playoffs.

“We’ve been through some stuff - it is what it is, that’s a fact. The guys on this team who have been through those things - we’re preaching resiliency. We’re preaching never giving up.”
