The Raptors won! Without Kawhi! All is right with the world.
Toronto is in tough tonight, no doubt about it. A back-to-back (albeit with a friendly 80 minute flight) against a team that will be looking for their second statement win within the space of a week.
It’s strange to think of Golden State making “statement” wins. They’ve been the whole paragraph, chapter and book on the NBA for the last four years, but with Steph Curry and Draymond Green having been out with injuries a new light has been shone on how not everything has gone well in the land of RUN-TMC.
