Toronto Raptors: The bench needs to step up in game 3

Terence Davis

In the regular season, undrafted rookie Terence Davis was a key factor for the Raptors elite bench. Understandably given his inexperience, he’s seen his minutes decrease a bit in the playoffs, but Davis has proven that the pressure doesn’t phase him, and it would be nice to see Nurse give him a larger chance. Davis only played 6 minutes in game 2, as the bench’s minutes were down as a whole. Like previously stated, the bench is the Raptors best advantage, and so getting those guys going is crucial.

In the minutes that he has found himself in, Davis has been a bit timid. In Game 2 he only put up two shots and missed them both, never really finding his footing. Moving forward, it would be nice to see Terence find his confidence again, and to do that, Nurse is going to need to give him a bit more of a run. No player can truly find themselves in 6 minutes of action, and that was the case for Davis in the previous outing.
