If the Toronto Raptors could see anyone on a day like today, it would be the New York Knicks. 2-0 in their last two outings against these Knicks, the Raptors could use some predictability in a stretch of games that’s been anything but. They were healthy for a spell — a trend that might be shaken up over the next little bit — but were unable to pull together wins thanks to consistently poor defense.
The most recent loss was yesterday to a Boston Celtics team without Jayson Tatum. The Raptors made a game of it — they usually do — before tired bodies and poor late game execution did them in again.
