The Toronto Raptors went 2-2 this week, losing a couple of tough ones to Indiana and Houston, falling behind by double digits in both losses and not having the man power nor the energy to claw all the way back. A convincing win against the Sacramento Kings and a good fight against the Dallas Mavericks helped the Raptors to finish the week with a 37-15 record.
The Raptors played two of four games this week without star forward Kawhi Leonard, as he continues his rest schedule. Both the Raptors and Leonard have assured inquiring minds that there is no injury and that this was done strictly for load management reasons.
