Raptors Drop Pivotal Game 5 + Jays Complete Third-Straight Series Victory

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open Thursday by recapping the Raptors’ Game 5 loss to the Cavaliers. The boys break down the team’s overall performance, fourth-quarter struggles, Scottie Barnes’ impressive play through injury, and key contributions from Dennis Schröder and others, while also noting Collin Murray-Boyles’ impact. They then react to Brandon Ingram’s second-quarter exit, considering the implications of his absence and what it could mean for the team moving forward. After the break, they shift to the Blue Jays’ third-straight series win over the Red Sox. The boys take a closer look at Boston’s struggles, Toronto’s improving offence, George Springer’s return, standout performances from Ernie Clement and Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and ongoing concerns behind the plate without Alejandro Kirk.
