Many fans have probably shoved the first half of the Raptors versus Grizzlies matchup from November 27 into the room of ‘forgettable memories’. And why not? The Raptors have had more bright moments than unremarkable ones this season, leading to their 34-13 record.
That night however, the Raptors trailed the Grizzlies by 71-59 at halftime before a second half push that led to an eight-point victory. As forgettable as the first half was, the second half was something to keep in mind for good. With the Grizzlies coming to Toronto for a Saturday night matchup, the Raptors must be mindful of both.
