Raptors gather for lengthy meeting after 123-102 throttling by Thunder
TORONTO — After perhaps the poorest effort this season, the Toronto Raptors held a long and surely impassioned post-game meeting.
And when coach Dwane Casey finally emerged, his first words were an apology.
“That exhibition of basketball was unacceptable,” a seething Casey said. “I want to apologize to our fans, everybody, for the way we played tonight. The effort, the competitive spirit wasn’t there. That team came out and played like it was a championship game and we played like it was a middle of the season game.
“So I apologize.”
