There’s a catch to playing games in Honolulu, Hawaii. Yes, the weather is nice, and the team camaraderie probably comes easy when you’re holding two-a-day workouts near a beach. But then comes the stark realization: if the Raptors play a game at the very reasonable time of 7pm locally, it means, gasp, the game is on at one o’clock in the gotdamn morning in Toronto.
This is the situation for tonight as the Raptors prepare to take on the Clippers for the second time this pre-season. As you’ll recall, Toronto already took it to the new-look Clips on Sunday night with a 121-113 victory.
