Six games in 12 days in three time zones, with some good games and some bad games.
A long Raptors road trip that was about discovering things about themselves as much as anything ended in defeat.
Once again short-handed and unable to make enough sustained runs, the Raptors dropped a 114-97 decision to the Pacers in Indianapolis on Friday night, finishing a punishing trip with two wins in six games.
As they have been so often this season, the Raptors were out of rhythm for just too long. Until they can smooth out those lulls, or at least shorten their duration in each game, it’s going to be an up-and-down season.
