DeRozan says Raptors’ defence needs to improve in Game 5

Toronto Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan said Monday that every playoff game against the Washington Wizards is “completely different.” The Raptors take on the Wizards in Game 5 on Wednesday, with the first-round series tied 2-2. The morning after the Toronto Raptors' late-game meltdown against the Washington Wizards, DeMar DeRozan was still taking the blame. DeRozan scored 35 points but was kicking himself for the shots he forced down the stretch, as the Raptors gave up a late eight-point lead in their 106-98 loss to Washington. The Raptors host the Wizards in Game 5 on Wednesday with the series tied at two games apiece. ``I just try to go out there and be aggressive,'' DeRozan said. ``It's just one of those nights where you find yourself sometimes you come off great, sometimes you could find yourself looking back and wishing you could take a few shots back that could have been, that you probably felt was forced. (Sunday) night was that.'' Coach Dwane Casey defended DeRozan, saying the loss was ``on all of us.'' ``It's no one person.'' The Raptors will head back to Washington's Capital One Arena for Game 6 on Friday, and Game 7, if necessary, would be Sunday in Toronto.
