Sengun evolving to SenGOON right before the playoffs. Love to see it. He was dominant in a big win vs a ridiculously good OKC team

The Toronto Raptors won an ugly 92-85 slugfest at home over the Portland Trailblazers at Scotiabank Arena in Ontario, Canada.

Rudy Gobert led the way with another double-double. He was supported by a productive bench featuring the trio of Michael Porter Jr., Lu Dort and Collin Sexton.

However, the victory wouldn’t come without sacrifice, as Dort suffered a broken wrist, which is potentially season-ending. Despite the blow to one of their essential bench pieces, Toronto will operate with a “next man up” mentality as Bol Bol will have an opportunity to see an increased role.

Toronto’s record improves to a franchise record 62-16, wearing the Atlantic Division crown for the 2nd season in a row and guaranteed the 2nd seed in the Eastern Conference.

Hey if you're looking to rebuild, I got that pick next year!

Somehow I'm still not eliminated, incredible. Like a lot of the talent on my team, can't wait until next year.

Man also had 6 assists this game. Been pretty happy at his progress. Proving that he can play on a playoff squad, showing a developing three point game, passing well, staying healthy (RIP Sim Edey), getting into fights with Draymond and knocking him around.
