As I watched the Toronto Raptors try in vain to catch the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night, I started wondering: when was the last time in the regular season the Raptors dropped two games in a row?
The dates were March 23 & 25 of last season (but not last year) when the Raptors lost the first two games of a 3-game road trip. The victors were Boston and Houston, and the team’s record sank to 48-22, then -23. Hardly a disaster.
The Raptors were 7-4 after eleven games in 2015-16, just as now.
