Here are 10 takeaways from the Toronto Raptors’ 110-107 win over the Dallas Mavericks.
One — Miracle: Dwight Powell coasted in for a layup to give the Mavericks an 85-55 lead with two minutes left in the third quarter. At that time, the Raptors were shooting south of 20 percent from three, looked completely disinterested on defense, and were essentially waving the white flag in their second game without Pascal Siakam, Norman Powell, and Marc Gasol. What followed was nothing short of a miracle.
Two — Reverse: Toronto launched a 28-8 run in five minutes after going down by 30.
