When the Toronto Raptors are feeling it, you notice.
The team is buzzing around on defense, they’re swarming the offensive glass, and everyone is finding their niche to contribute — even when there’s only one basketball to go around.
Coming into tonight’s game, that last caveat was probably on the minds of Raptors players more than it’d normally be. With Khem Birch returning from a broken nose, Toronto had all eight of their top rotation players for one of the first times all season. Seeing how that would look on the court, while being tested against the Eastern Conference’s top team — the Chicago Bulls — would be interesting to say the least.
