TORONTO, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) -- Toronto Raptors defence allowed Orlando Magic to shoot 53.2 percent in a 114-113 loss on Sunday evening's NBA game.
With the loss, Toronto fell to 29-19 on the season and have dropped six of their past seven games. Raptors also fell to third place in the Conference, allowing the 29-18 Celtics to overpass them by half a game.
Raptors Head Coach Dwane Casey was displeased with his team's effort on the defensive end.
"We have to find five men that are going to go out there and defend," Casey said after the loss. "You can go right down the roster and everybody had a defensive mistake. It's everybody and that is what I told the team, everybody is involved, the whole group in the room, we're all accountable for this."
Entering the game, Orlando ranked in the bottom five in points scored (99.7 per game), field goal percentage (44.1), and three-point percentage (33.5). During the game, Toronto's defence allowed Orlando to score 114 points on 42-for-79 (53.2 percent) from the field and 10-for-23 (43.5 percent) from beyond the arc.
The worst stretch in the game for Casey's squad was the middle of the second quarter where Orlando went on a 21-2 run in the final 6:20 of the quarter to erase a ten-point Raptors lead.
"It's as bad as we have played all year," Casey said of the rough stretch in the second quarter. "We have to go back to fundamental basketball, back to basics, almost back to training camp to get our defence back in check."
