The NBA All-Star break doesn’t represent the halfway point of the season. For the Toronto Raptors, Game 41 of 82 was the amazing comeback against Golden State at home which fell just short. That crazy affair occurred more than a month ago.

Miles to the starting small forward spot, in place of OG Anunoby.
