Sunday’s win was a very interesting game to watch for a number of reasons. After Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka went down with injuries in Friday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans, the depth of the Toronto Raptors was put to the test against the Lakers.
These injuries happening early in the season can be seen as a blessing and a curse. Ibaka and Lowry are great players to have on any roster and have been providing some solid minutes but this is a great way to see who can step up, deal with the pressure, and fill in the gaps that the two stars have left.
