To put it charitably, the Toronto Raptors did not look good Saturday night. Like their opponent, the Boston Celtics, they were on the second night of a back-to-back and both teams were visibly fatigued.
As often happens, the Raptors - devoid of any real ball movement - relied on swingman DeMar DeRozan to either isolate or drive the ball to the basket.
In the third quarter, DeRozan is guarded by Evan Turner.
Raptors teammate Patrick Patterson sets a screen on Turner, springing DeRozan.
DeRozan then turns the corner on power forward Brandon Bass, and scoops it in underhanded past Tyler Zeller.
It's a quick two points for the Raptors on a night when points were hard to come by. The play can be seen in its entirety below.
