This week kinda feels like deja vu in a lot of ways.
Morbid subtext aside, the Toronto Raptors played the Denver Nuggets for the second time in a week on Monday. Tonight, they will play the Sacramento Kings for the second time in a week, after winning the first match last Saturday. While they lost both games against the Nuggets by close margins, the goal would be to go 2-0 against the Kings this week.
This young Raptors team has certainly proven they have the guts to win against competitive teams. Even in games they’ve lost in the past few weeks, many of those victories have been by close numbers.
