In the tunnel leading to the locker rooms, the Raptors were steaming mad. Like, really mad. Being down by twelve points against Blacklist? That was straight-up disrespectful for a team like them.
The air felt thick, like when you walk into a room after people have been yelling. Everyone was blaming each other, super frustrated. But then, when the referees whistled and waved them back to the court for the second half, something weird happened. The Raptors' anger turned into pure confusion.
A murmur spread through the crowd, people whispering, nudging each other. Because there, on the court, was Nash. But around him? Jinzo, Mac, and two NPCs. Meanwhile, the Blacklist girls were just sitting on the bench, chilling like it was no big deal.
The crowd couldn't believe it.
"Why would they bench Jaz NOW?" someone shouted.
