Only two days ago, the Wizards appeared to assume control of the regular season series against the Raptors, Washington’s bench and defense turning a dominant performance in a convincing win at Toronto. In Friday night’s rematch at Verizon Center, the Wizards were unable to come anywhere near duplicating that formula as DeMar DeRozan and Toronto pulled away for a 114-106 win. “Thirty-five points in the opening quarter — that basically set the tone.”Things changed for the Wizards’ bench as well. Four minutes into the game, Wall was fouled on what would have been his fifth shot attempt and his total matched the rest of the other starters. With the loss, the Wizards have not won a season series over the Raptors since the 2007-08 season.
