It’s still a weird sensation, having the Raptors prepare for a Game 2 already up 1-0 in a series. Usually, with three days off between games like we’ve had this week, there’d be plenty of time for panic, discussing adjustments, and existential crisis over the state of the team. Now, the Raptors will have to deal with the other side of the spectrum: not getting too over-confident.
That was the mantra of today’s media availability after the Raptors’ shootaround. Tonight’s Game 2 will be an opportunity for Toronto to hold home court with a win, as the series shifts to Washington Friday night.
