Too many turnovers, not enough rebounds — Wizards lose to Raptors

The Washington Wizards struggled offensively and fell to the Toronto Raptors 112-102 in their second game of the season. Despite Toronto shooting just 20.6% from three-point range, the Raptors dominated on the glass, produced a higher effective field goal percentage, and committed fewer turnovers than Washington. The Wizards remained competitive largely due to earning 35 free throw attempts, aided significantly by Trae Young drawing fouls on perimeter jump shots.

Kevin Broom highlights persistent offensive execution issues for Washington against Toronto's physical defense led by Scottie Barnes, Ja'Kobe Walter, and Jamal Shead. Kyshawn George struggled heavily with eight turnovers and five fouls, while pick-and-roll sequences between Young and Anthony Davis frequently stalled.
