The Toronto Raptors played solid defense for close to 48 minutes, moved the ball well, consistently attacked the rim and didn’t fold when they got a lead. How nice was it to see all of that? The result was an easy 116-93 win over the Dallas Mavericks, Toronto’s third in a row.
We shouldn’t get too high up on this one — the Mavericks were on a back-to-back and missing a few key contributors due to injury/COVID protocols. But a win is a win, and we’re seeing more and more positive results from game-to-game that might mean the Raptors are figuring things out.
