RAPTORS BLOG: Toronto blew a golden opportunity with loss against Pacers and now it gets interesting Via WolstatSun
That was one crazy finish for over/under bettors . After the first quarter it appeared over would take it comfortably. But the second and third quarters saw the defence raised and under appeared to be likely. Even inside of the final two minutes it looked good. The game was no longer in reach for the Raptors, but the team fouled anyway, resulting in a pair of Pacers free throws.
The Boucher three also meant the Raptors got to 20% three-point shooting, ignoring a chance for this to be one of the five worst three-point accuracy games for a Raptors team in the last six seasons. The Will Barton buyout pickup is starting to resemble the Jeremy Lin buyout pickup. Both veteran guards had strong track records and seemed like solid pickups when Toronto acquired them, but Lin struggled mightily in 23 games with the Raptors, shooting the worst percentages of his career and was out of the NBA after the stint. Barton, who had been a good starter for years in previous stops, was forced into his first start since last April on Wednesday.
Thaddeus Young continues to be completely out of the rotation, even with Barnes and Achiuwa unable to play.
