When Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka went down with injuries it seemed like the Toronto Raptors would struggle since the bench had been underperforming. All those worries have vanquished because of the emergence of Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Chris Boucher, Terence Davis, and Matt Thomas.
The Raptors won 3 out 5 games against some strong competition on this road trip due to their bench stepping up to the challenge. Can the bench keep performing this well for the duration of the season? Perhaps. They have proven themselves and have gained the trust of Nick Nurse and the rest of the fan base.
