While it’s best not to ascribe too much signficance to head-to-head regular season matchups, it’s fair to say the Pacers want nothing more to do with Toronto. That’s the main takeaway from a short week for the Raptors, one that first saw them casually beat the setting Suns before absolutely walloping Indiana by a franchise-record 46 points. Before we reflect on that, it’s worth noting: the Raptors have now lost just one game since January 13th — a solid six weeks of action.
A comparison between the Raptors and Pacers is instructive regardless.
