If you can believe this, it’s a tad hard to pinpoint who exactly was the Raptors’ best player in Game 2 of their opening round series against the Washington Wizards. Toronto won the game handily, 130-119, but the consensus on who specifically was powering said winning kept changing. The temptation is, per usual, to select DeMar DeRozan or Kyle Lowry — who Wizards coach Scott Brooks called a “volume winner” pre-game. But in the fullness of Game 2, that feels limiting.
The truth is, as has often been the case this season, it’s impossible to separate the components of this Raptors win and highlight a single thing.
