In the Toronto Raptors’ last three games — all wins — their bench has outscored their opponents by 4.7 points per game. While that may not sound like that much, consider that in the first 39 games of the season, their bench was outscored by 0.6 points per game.
That’s more than 5 points per game! And since the Raptors overall had a point differential of -0.3, well, you can see where the three wins have come from.
That’s an oversimplification of course — there’s more to the wins than that, including some great play from the starters.
