Everything about Game 1 between these two teams was wrong. Washington's two greatest offensive weapons were 11 for 41 for 26 points. Toronto's back court wasn't any better going 8 for 30 for 22 points. The rock fight that was game 1 was ultimately a Wizards victory because they dominated the offensive glass getting 19 offensive rebounds. Even then Toronto took this game to overtime. Toronto is the much better offensive team. They don't want ugly games like this. The Raptors were 3rd in the NBA in offensive efficiency only trailing the Clippers and Warriors. They were the best offensive team in the Eastern Conference. At home, they will recover. Washington isn't nearly as good on the road, in fact, on the season, Washington has been outscored by 4 ppg on the road. Washington needs these games to be ugly, yet in the 3 regular season games, Toronto won All 3, scoring 106 ppg. Washington can't keep up with that pace. Toronto is a team that does rely on getting to the free throw line, they average 24.4 free throw attempts per game, 7th most in the NBA. . Washington ranks 23rd in that category. The refs weren't calling much in game 1 which allowed it to be an ugly, defensive type of game. That won't happen tonight. Refs Kennedy and Kirkland both are in top 20 in fouls called per game. Major Advantage Toronto. This will be a higher scoring game, there will be more fouls this game, this is a must win for Toronto, Toronto matches up well against Washington, these are the reasons its a GAME OF THE YEAR TORONTO WINNER!
