coach Nick Nurse was in familiar surroundings Sunday morning, and it’s not just because he was conducting a rare practice on the Scotiabank Arena floor.
Nurse was pretty happy to be getting the opportunity to coach and speak in front of a collection of his peers because he was once like the crowd gathered in the seats before, too. The loose atmosphere was also likely because the Raptors got back to their winning ways Saturday night, shooting 35 per cent from three-point range after only shooting 27.2 per cent from outside over their past five games.
“I think we had a couple of dry spells where I just didn’t think we had great shot selection and were going a little too quick, and maybe not the right opportunity, and we’ve gotta clean that up,” he said. “You just can’t afford not to be a little bit more consistent over your 48 minutes. … There’s some things to clean up, there’s some guys who need to play a little bit better.”
