Playing against the Jazz was supposed to be hard for the Raptors. Utah’s offense, while ranked just 21st in the league going into Sunday, presented an odd challenge. Toronto’s spent the season targeting opposing stars and daring crummy supporting casts to beat them. With Utah, there’s nary a singular star nor a shit corner shooting role player in sight. That ended up not being a problem worth losing sleep over.
On the other end of the floor, things probably should have been more difficult against a defense that entered the game in the league’s top-five.
