Asked Erica Howe how much notice she gave the firehouse from which she is on leave to join PWHL Toronto: “I let them know today so there were a few of them in the stands and I can see a few texts that say I will never let my child be a goalie because that was far too stressful.” – 7:09 AM

What’s left? Well, Raptors worst loss ever was by 46 points, their worst this season is 41
Kings 99, Raptors 65 and here comes the fourth – 9:21 PM
@AaronBenRose
The Raptors really decided not to tank last season when quite possibly the greatest basketball prospect ever was going to go No. 1
Now they’re truly among the league’s worst teams and the draft is by all accounts one of the worst ever 🤦🏻♂️ – 9:21 PM
@James_HamNBA
Fox finishes at the rim to end the third. 99-65 Kings lead. It’s a blow out in Toronto. Fox has 20 points. Monk has 17 off the bench and Barnes has 16. Sabonis also has a triple-double. – 9:20 PM
@JandersonSacBee
The Kings are No. 7 in the NBA in defensive rating over the past 10 games (111.2) and No. 2 over the past five games (103.2). They’ve held the Raptors to 65 points through three quarters tonight in Toronto. – 9:20 PM

Domantas Sabonis has extended his double-double streak to 51 games (in this single season) tonight at Toronto. He has now tied Moses Malone for the second-longest double-double streak in general since the ABA-NBA merger. – 9:08 PM
@JLew1050
Very rough few games for Gradey Dick. After a productive stretch, starter minutes vs some good/physical teams are taking a toll. He’ll be better for it in the long run – these are valuable reps to learn/grow. Not always easy to keep that perspective in the moment, though. – 9:08 PM

Raptors are down 68-45 at half. Sabonis has eight points & 12 rebounds. I say he extends the double-double streak to 51! Gary Trent Jr. has nine. for Raps who have turned it over 11 times and are shooting 41 per cent from the floor and there are only two halves left thankfully. – 8:43 PM

Spattering of boos from a sparse/restless Scotiabank Arena crowd as the Raptors go into halftime down 23. Believe it or not this isn’t even the ugliest basketball that’ll be played here this week – tomorrow is the Media Game. Shield your eyes (fortunately, it won’t be televised). – 8:37 PM

@James_HamNBA
Kings run over the Raptors in the second quarter, take a 68-45 lead into the half. Fox and Monk each have 15 points. Sabonis needs two points for a double-double. Chris Duarte is giving a nice punch off the bench. – 8:36 PM
