Raps were 3 for 17 in the fourth quarter on shots in the restricted area. The 14 misses in the restricted area are the most misses in any quarter in the last 20 years of playoff basketball. The offense was playing better in the first three quarters (120.6 points per 100) than the regular season (111 per 100). In the fourth and OT? 79.3 per 100.
It really is tough to undersell what a choke this was. Probably peak Raptors. It's also why it's impossible to see them winning the series, basically a near perfect first three quarters offensively and they still lost. They deserve all the criticism they're getting. If anything they're being let off the hook because it's not surprising it happened.
