10 things: Raptors fight back but fall to red-hot Pacers in OT

One — Heart: There are no such things as moral victories for defending champions. The Pacers held the lead early, and nailed four huge threes in overtime to win the game. Both sides were shorthanded and both teams were playing on the second half of a back-to-back. But the bottom line is that the Raptors never had any business being in a game like this, yet they fought tooth and nail down to the very end of overtime. This team is brimming with heart, and at least you’ll always know that they didn’t lose due to a lack of effort.
