The week ended as it had begun for the Toronto Raptors with a disheartening defeat to a playoff team. The last few weeks have been a trying one for this Raptors squad, a plethora of injuries and defeats have formed a barrier that the Raptors must now surmount. But, if this isn’t what playoffs are all about then I don’t know what is.
Although, it should be noted that the Raptors did, in fact, manage to keep competitive without the guidance of franchise point guard Kyle Lowry going 2-2 on the week. With Lowry out, other players were asked to step-up and Danny Green did so in a big way.
