They quickly continued to widen the gap in a very short time.
Especially when Wang Yi got going from three-point range, he tended to hit them in bunches.
After his first three three-pointers, two minutes passed before he knocked down two more in a row.
The Trail Blazers were completely broken, and the lead ballooned to 25 points.
But that wasn't all. After Wang Yi left the floor in the third quarter, the Raptors kept launching fast-break counterattacks, continuing to pile pressure on the Trail Blazers.
By the end of the third quarter, the lead had grown to 30 points.
