It’s been quite the weekend for basketball fans. The Raptors beat the title-favourite Lakers on ESPN, reminding Americans that the Raptors are not only in the bubble, but are actually, you know, kind of good. Elsewhere in Disney World, the Nets beat the Wizards in the league’s first ever relegation match, TJ Warren dropped 53 on the Sixers and Zion Williamson was limited to 14 minutes, disappointing everyone everywhere — folks, the NBA restart is in full swing.
To round out the long weekend, Toronto will face the Miami Heat, who are up 2-0 in the season series, in a matinée matchup on NBA TV (a humbling reminder of our roots).
