Coming off an emotional win on Friday over the Western Conference-leading Rockets, the Raptors were almost set up to fail today.
They had a quick turnaround to play New York on the road. They got the last-minute “we got this” boost of getting Delon Wright back from injury, and not having to play Enes Kanter. Benjamin Franklin’s worst invention — daylight savings time — basically turned a 1 PM start into a noon start. The Raptors had every excuse for playing like crap, and taking a schedule loss to the Knicks.
