Without Kawhi Leonard, the Spurs are going head-to-head against the Raptors for the second time this season. These two teams first met near the beginning of the season and left many Toronto fans outraged at the officiating — ultimately, the Raptors were downed by four points. Still, at the time, even being able to compete with a team so firmly set in the upper echelon of the league felt good for Torontonians. At the beginning of the season, fans and critics alike were concerned with the dearth of experience on the Raptors’ bench, citing this supposed lack of depth as a reason the Raptors may falter this season.
