PHILADELPHIA—It’s what Nick Nurse does, what he’s done all season. He feels his way through a lot of basketball games, probing for something that will work, something maybe untried before, something that comes in part from the studying the numbers but mostly from his heart.
In what was one of the most important Raptors game in the history of the franchise, Nurse coaxed and prodded and mixed and matched his team to a huge victory.
