Toronto defeated Washington 134-125 in a game that swung from a 13‑point deficit to a victory, but the uneven performance highlighted the Raptors’ need for consistency. After the win, coach Darko Rajakovic and players like RJ Barrett emphasized that steady play is key to moving from good to great.
The win leaves the Raptors with a 4‑15 record against top‑10 teams and a 1.5‑game cushion over the Philadelphia 76ers, keeping them in fifth place. Still, the team’s inconsistent play remains a hurdle as they aim to secure a playoff spot.
