A collective sigh of relief in Canada, as the Toronto Raptors bounced back from a loss to the Denver Nuggets (a game they had no business being in, by the way) with a big win against one of their main contenders in the Eastern Conference.
Philadelphia came to town feeling themselves, boasting an 8-2 record since acquiring Jimmy Butler, a man who has given the Raptors all sorts of problems in the past. The Raptors have Kawhi now, and that makes all of the difference.
Especially on Wednesday night, a scenario where everyone who wasn’t Kawhi struggled shooting from outside the arc.
