Birthday boy Boucher gives Raptors early boost but they still lose for the 16th time in their last 17 games.

"It’s an opportunity to grow away from the court,” says former ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski.

As video of the Warriors broadcast made its rounds online, some fans called out the Raptors. The uproar appears to have been much ado about nothing.

“We want to be competitive every single game,” coach Darko Rajakovic said after the Raptors’ 10th win of the season.

"We adjusted and started playing much harder on the ball (after falling behind by 21 points)," Rajakovic says.

The final result, a 905 win, is more important to the first-year pro than his point totals.

The Raptors tried to give the game away with 19 turnovers, but their defence came through in the end.

Scottie Barnes controlled the tempo in back-to-back victories in Atlanta, after 1-19 start on the road.

The Raptors have taken a developmental approach with Chomche as he makes cultural adjustments in a foreign country and adapts to a new style of play.

Former Canadian star wants to see the impact the event has on youth soccer.
