This was, definitively, not a very hot week for the Toronto Raptors. For the fourth time in what seems like an eternal season, Toronto suffered a three-game losing streak — one that has now stretched to five straight losses — and needs a big bounce back to stay in the playoff hunt.
During this most recent losing skid, the Raptors produced some of the ugliest basketball they’ve played all year. Can you fault them, though? The Raptors have been playing without Pascal Siakam for six games as well as Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby for the past five due to NBA health and safety protocols around COVID-19.
