To the disappointment of many Raptors fans, Toronto slid down the draft board and ended up with the 9th pick in the lottery this year.

The Indiana Pacers played their worst offensive game of the postseason in Thursday night's 111-94 loss to the New York Knicks, but despite missing a chance to close out the series, star guard Tyrese Haliburton emphasized there was "no need to panic."
Tyrese Haliburton followed his historic triple-double by getting held to single digits in everything.
