What Raptor fans thought would be an easy going run of games in the final stretch of the season has turned out to be quite the opposite. After a big win following the All-Star break against the Spurs, Toronto has gone 3-3 over their last six. On paper, the Raptors maybe could have gone 6-0. But their opponents have been playing well above their season-long levels.
Case in point: prior to their win against Toronto, Orlando had won five of six (and shortly after had an impressive win against Golden State). Portland was riding a 5-game win streak before stepping into the Scotiabank Arena.
