RJ Barrett: Something’s gotta change when we play good teams

Mar 6, 2026 8:12 PM

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett said that the team needed to do a better job of preserving defensive energy on Anthony Edwards throughout all 48 minutes following last night’s 115-107 road loss vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves (held to 8 first half points/finished game with 22).

(via Toronto Raptors):

“Just gotta find a way, man. Find a way, it’s our job. So, it’s our job to come in and make those things happen. I think we’ll look at the film, but I think when we play these good teams, something has to change. Something has to change. I think we’re working hard. I think we have good intentions. Coming from last year to this year, now being here, this is the part that we gotta figure out. This is the challenge that we gotta overcome. And I’m confident that we will, but something’ s gotta change and we gotta figure something out.”
