I had my doubts about that one.
I’ve seen it too many times: An injured team, down to only a few healthy bodies, comes out and plays the game of their lives as the opponent perhaps takes them a little too easily. And when that injured team is the Golden State Warriors — who still feature a two-time MVP and two likely Hall of Famers on their healthy roster — it wasn’t going to be easy.
So: Credit the Toronto Raptors for going on the road, answering every Steph Curry-led punch with a counter-punch of their own, and coming away with a big, and balanced, team win.
