The Raptors have had a bad four-game stretch, and while there are a ton of issues, the biggest way to fix them is by being better defensively.
Chris Lambert argues that the Toronto Raptors must fix their defensive issues to overcome a recent 1-3 slump. During this four-game stretch, which included losses to Orlando, the Lakers, and Denver, Toronto posted the league's third-worst defensive rating and allowed an average of 124.5 points per contest.
The writer notes that while Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles have largely met expectations, teammates like Ja'Kobe Walter have struggled with fouls and discipline. Lambert highlights that defensive shortcomings and undisciplined reaching have disrupted the team's ability to generate turnovers and fuel their fast-break offense.
