A season full of ups and downs reached one of its most unexpected highs on Sunday as the Raptors, short two starters and four rotation players, beat the Los Angeles Lakers 121-114. Just when it looked like the Raptors might be done for the season, Kyle Lowry and Pascal Siakam carried the team with their best performances of the season as they combined for 76 points (the rest of the starters combined for four).
Still, the Raptors sit three games behind the Washington Wizards with only seven games left to play. Simply put: making the play-in is a long shot.
