Raptors 905 News Release
Raptors 905 guard Delon Wright set a new single-game franchise high with 33 points, but his team fell 104-88 to the Sioux Falls Skyforce Saturday afternoon at Hershey Centre in Mississauga.
The Mississauga club jumped out to an early 13-5 lead before Sioux Falls went on a 20-9 run to round out the first quarter ahead of Raptors 905, 25-22. Raptors 905 regained a brief two-point advantage early in the second quarter, but the Skyforce closed that gap and earned the lead for good with 8:44 left in the second quarter onward, stretching the divide to as many as 22 around the halfway mark of the fourth quarter.
Scoring in double digits for the Skyforce were Jarnell Stokes (22), Rodney McGruder (20), Josh Richardson (16), Jabril Trawick (14) and Byron Mullens (10). Mullens also contributed a game-high 12 rebounds. Along with Wright's game-high 33 points, Raptors 905 was also led offensively by Ronald Roberts Jr. (20 points) and Scott Suggs (13 points).
Sioux Falls led Raptors 905 in field goal percentage (47.6-47.0), three point percentage (48.4-22.2, recording 15 three pointers to Raptors 905's four), free throw percentage (78.6-60.0) and second-chance points (20-10), while Raptors 905 led in points in the paint (64-44) and fast-break points (12-10).
Raptors 905 is back in action Thursday, January 7 when the club rematches with the Skyforce for a third-straight game at the NBA Development League Showcase in Santa Cruz, California at 8 p.m. ET.
