Toronto Raptors: Grading the Raptors last 3 games played on Halloween
Indiana Pacers 90, Toronto Raptors 88
Best costume: Landry Fields
If you’ve watched The Boys then you know Translucent, if you’ve watched Fantastic four, then you know the Invisible Women. Landry Fields did an excellent job portraying both this game, going 0-6 from the field, and having 2 boards and one assist in 24 minutes of the play. Fields was as invisible as can be and that’s why he wins the best costume award.
Scariest costume: Andrea Bargnani
This wins the scariest costume award because it was the last year we got to see Bargnani in a Toronto Raptors jersey. The horrors were finally done after many years of being underwhelming. Even in this Halloween game, Bargnani put up a performance that would scare any Raptors fan going 4/15 from the field with 3 turnovers. Bargnani fooled everyone this game making everyone think he was actually playing for the Raptors.
Players who didn’t see the full moon yet: Jonas Valančiūnas
This was actually Valančiūnas’s first-ever NBA game. It was an alright game from him scoring 12 and posting 10 boards, but he was nowhere near the player he is today. He wasn’t as crafty a scorer and didn’t shoot his super iconic three once a game yet. Not to mention his beard is certainly not as good as it is today.
Despite the Raptors leading most of the game, at 88-88, the Raptors would lose to George Hill’s hook shot with two seconds left.
