The Greensboro Swarm delivered a statement road performance on Friday night, pulling away from Raptors 905 for a 134-106 win in NBA G League action at Paramount Fine Foods Centre. The Swarm improved to 3-1 on the young season with a balanced, fast-paced attack, while Raptors 905 dropped to 1-3 after struggling to contain Greensboro’s transition game.

Game overview

The opening minutes were competitive, with Raptors 905 attacking the rim and keeping the pace comfortable. Greensboro changed the game late in the first quarter, closing on a 12-2 run that turned a tight score into a double-digit lead. From there, the Swarm never let the home side back within striking distance.

• First quarter: Raptors 905 24, Greensboro Swarm 35
• Second quarter: Raptors 905 29, Greensboro Swarm 32
• Third quarter: Raptors 905 26, Greensboro Swarm 34
• Fourth quarter: Raptors 905 27, Greensboro Swarm 33

Greensboro led 67-53 at halftime and then put the game out of reach with a 34-point third quarter. The Swarm’s guards consistently broke down the first line of defense, creating open corner threes and easy second-chance opportunities.

How the Swarm pulled away

Greensboro’s pressure defense was the story. The Swarm forced 18 Raptors 905 turnovers and converted those mistakes into 26 points, frequently turning defensive rebounds into quick outlet passes and layups. Greensboro finished with 21 fast-break points and knocked down 18 three-pointers, stretching a Raptors 905 defense that never found a consistent answer on the perimeter.

Raptors 905 had encouraging stretches from its half-court offense, particularly when Marcus Delaney attacked off the dribble, but the team’s 11-of-34 shooting from beyond the arc made it difficult to keep pace. Greensboro’s bench also provided a significant lift, outscoring the Raptors 905 reserves by a comfortable margin.

Standout performers

• Darius Calloway, Greensboro Swarm: 28 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, shooting 10-of-16 from the field and 5-of-9 from three.
• Kendall Marsh, Greensboro Swarm: 22 points and 8 rebounds, consistently winning the physical battles inside.
• Ethan Voss, Greensboro Swarm: 18 points off the bench, including four second-half three-pointers.
• Marcus Delaney, Raptors 905: 23 points and 6 assists in a losing effort.
• Isaiah Cortez, Raptors 905: 19 points and 7 rebounds.

What it means

For Greensboro, the win reinforces an early-season identity built on pace, spacing, and defensive disruption. The Swarm have now scored at least 125 points in three of their first four games and look like one of the more dangerous offensive teams in the G League’s early standings. For Raptors 905, the result is a reminder that defensive consistency must improve, especially against guards who can pressure the rim. The team has shown enough offensive promise to stay competitive, but allowing 134 points will be a teaching point in film sessions.
