The ball moved, the shots became easier, Pascal Siakam looked far more like his usual self and the Raptors came up with another impressive performance and solid victory.
Leaving further behind the disappointment of last week’s three tough losses out west, Toronto registered a 128-111 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder at Scotiabank Arena on Thursday night that showed the potential this group might have.
There is work to be done on skill development and roster construction in the summer, but at this moment the Raptors are firing perhaps as well as they can. It may not mean too much this season, but the experiences gained and success achieved by the core group will certainly count as time marches on.
