The Toronto Raptors let one slip at Scotiabank Arena after a 110-107 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, and Brandon Ingram’s final shot summed up the night.
Toronto entered the fourth quarter with a 12 point cushion, but Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs refused to fade, SI reports. San Antonio caught fire from deep and chipped away at the lead possession by possession. With 16.1 seconds remaining, rookie Dylan Harper missed two free throws, yet hustled in for his own rebound to extend the play.
De’Aaron Fox then stepped to the line with 10.7 seconds left. He missed the first attempt but converted the second to push the margin to three. The Spurs fouled Immanuel Quickley while up three, preventing a potential tying three pointer. Quickley made just one, trimming the deficit to two. San Antonio split its next trip at the stripe, keeping it a one possession game and setting up a final chance for Toronto.
The Raptors executed a clean inbound that freed Ingram in the corner for the tying attempt. The look appeared ideal. The result was not.
