The Toronto Raptors cap off their road trip with a post-Thanksgiving Day (American) meeting with the Indiana Pacers. Winners of two of their last three games, have the Raptors turned the corner (again)?
The Raptors started the season with a half-court offense that could make former Raptors coach Kevin O’Neill blush and had to rely on their aggressive defense to keep them in the game. However, these past 8-9 games flipped the script. The Raptors are now near the top of offensive rating, tied with Miami Heat for 6th overall (110.6 OFF RTG), but they’ve plummeted defensively, posting a 110 DEF RTG, which is good for 24th in the league.
