The lackadaisical defending and sloppy backcourt turnovers said everything about the Toronto Raptors' exhibition finale.
The weary-looking Raptors dropped a 117-106 decision to the Phoenix Suns - who have the worst record of the 22 teams at Walt Disney World - on Tuesday, suffering their only loss in three scrimmages in the NBA's restart.
“We'll take the learning and see how we can get better for the actual seeding games and get ready for the real deal.” Marc Gasol's three early in the third gave Toronto its first lead of the game - 73-72 - but it was short-lived as the Suns outscored the Raptors 25-7 to end of the quarter and led 97-86 with one quarter left.Turnovers cost Toronto - the Raptors committed 28 to the Suns' 19.
