There is a relentlessness to the Raptors that has to be appreciated and stands them in good stead almost every night.
They go through scoring droughts and don’t hang their heads; they get behind and keep coming and they are competitive and close in almost every game.
It happened again Sunday in Philadelphia. A group missing two key starters fell behind early but kept at it and kept at it and kept at it. And they were rewarded for it.
The Raptors won their sixth straight road game despite three missed free throws in the final 15 seconds, beating the Philadelphia 76ers 93-88.
