Being able to respond wasn't the Raptors' strong suit to start the season. Eight of their 15 losses this season have been by six or fewer points. Five have been a one-possession game, with Toronto losing by three or fewer points.
29-27 in the final period of the Raptors' 122-111 victory on Tuesday. It was Toronto's second consecutive win and third in four games.
That was exactly the case on Tuesday, with the Raptors leading Indiana by as much as 24 points but the Pacers closed the gap in the fourth with an 8-0 run pulling Indiana to within a possession and less than seven minutes less to play."He was very calm in that timeout," said Barrett, who is from Mississauga, Ont."He just spoke to us, and we knew what to do, and we responded."
Rajakovic said that in the pivotal timeout he reminded his players that they just had to focus on one possession at a time.
