"But no. This 905 team is different. They came out in the third quarter like bats out of hell and completed an improbable comeback, winning the second half 63-33 and ultimately taking the game 111-102 to extend their unbelievable start to 12-0. If they didn't lose this game, will there ever be one that's out of their grasp? Jonathan Mogbo skied for a putback dunk,"
"All the while the 905 stacked stops on defence, showing why they lead the G League with a 101.1 defensive rating. Hepburn drove and made a lay-down pass to Mogbo, who outwaited his leaping defender for a layup to tie the game at 88 early in the fourth quarter, and they didn't look back. Even more impressive, the 905 fought back without their leading scorer AJ Lawson, who was out with hip soreness, and on a night where they were off their game."
Raptors 905 trailed by as much as 23 points at halftime before launching a ferocious third-quarter surge and outscoring the Delaware Bluecoats 63-33 in the second half to win 111-102. The comeback showcased stout defence and timely finishing, with Jonathan Mogbo converting high-percentage looks (8-of-8 inside two) for 17 points and seven rebounds. David Roddy (20 points) and Jarkel Joiner (19 points) provided efficient scoring off the bench, combining strong perimeter shooting and isolation scoring. The team rallied without leading scorer AJ Lawson (hip soreness) while Alijah Martin had an off shooting night.
