The Raptors lost a nail-biter to the Nuggets Monday night thanks to incredibly unlucky shot-making (missing?) by Toronto, despite erasing an 11-point fourth quarter deficit.
Kawhi Leonard led Toronto with 27 points and eight rebounds, while Kyle Lowry added 11 assists. Pascal Siakam continued his torrid stretch, contributing 14 points, six rebounds and seven assists to go along with two steals.
The Raptors host the 76ers on Wednesday in their first game against the new look Philly team, now led by Jimmy Butler.
Toronto started this game off looking a little antsy, with possession after possession resulting in ill-advised passes and rushed shots.
