Coming into their game against the Toronto Raptors, the Warriors saw the potential to take advantage of a team that was on their second game of a back-to-back.
In a game expected by some to be a “scheduled loss” for the Raptors — mainly because of tired legs and the absence of their franchise player — the Warriors instead fell into a trap that was masterfully laid and sprung by the new beasts from the East.
What the Warriors failed to take into account was that this Raptors team had an incredible 6-1 record without Kawhi Leonard.
