There are games where we have to look really hard for a narrative, and there are games where the narrative speak for itself. With the Orlando Magic in town to play the Toronto Raptors, at the very top of the agenda is the Scottie Barnes vs. Jalen Suggs head-to-head.
However, there are other things worth talking about, such as Toronto’s staunch defense that holds opponents to 99 points through five games. The Raptors are tied for fourth in the NBA in this category. When effective, the Raptors’ defense reminds me of the fast-moving zombies that can overwhelm their prey in a matter of seconds.
