The Toronto Raptors have hit somewhat of a snag since the all-star break, and the next three games — beginning with Tuesday’s tilt with Chicago — provide the perfect opportunity to taste some success.
The Raptors will host Chicago tonight, head to New York to take on the Knicks, before finishing the week in Chicago to wrap up the season series with the Bulls. The two teams have a combined record of 35-113 this season.
The Raptors — who have gone 8-7 in fifteen games since Februrary 22nd — lost the chance to win 60 games after Jeremy Lamb drilled a 48-foot desperation heave at the buzzer to give the Charlotte Hornets a last-second victory over Toronto, nullifying the fourth-quarter comeback that the Raptors had assembled.
