With 7:25 left, youngster Bilal Coulibaly's basket gave Washington a 106-90 lead. However, that would be the Wizards' final basket. With 5:47 remaining, Kyle Kuzma made the first of his two free throws, and Washington lost 111-107 without scoring again. One major factor in Monday's downfall was Kuzma. He rushed into the backcourt to urge his coaches to contest a call that went in favour of Toronto on an out-of-bounds play, but the Raptors just inbounded the ball and scored with ease while playing five-on-four.
Kuzma finished with 34 points, but he also committed six turnovers, two of which came in the last 6.1 seconds. In the closing minutes, Jordan Poole didn't fare much better, missing all three of his attempts and picking up two fouls. Pascal Siakam scored the game's winning basket following his final miss, giving him a total of 39 points.
