Former Portland Trail Blazers guard Gary Trent Jr. put the Toronto Raptors past the Washington Wizards on Monday with a Lillard summer beater. Trent, who was traded from Portland to Toronto just before the deadline, put the finishing touches on the Raptors’ 103-101 win over the Wizards.
In the final seconds of the match, Trent corrected Raul Neto’s miss and turned it into a three – pointer on the other side just before the buzzer. If you missed it, Trent’s great chance is up close:
Trent’s heroic deeds received praise from his former teammates. Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic all insisted on respecting Trent on social media.
Trent ended the evening with 16 points, two assists and two rebounds. In six games with the Raptors, Trent averages 16.7 points per game.
