The Toronto Raptors were the Number Two seed in the Eastern Conference going into their matchup with the Indiana Pacers tonight. It’s no secret that they have had a fantastic season to this point. However, it seemed like the Pacers might have had a stroke of luck going into this game when it was announced that Toronto’s superstar wing, Kawhi Leonard, would be held out of tonight’s matchup.
The Pacers themselves were without their budding defensive monster, Myles Turner, but with Toronto’s starting center Jonas Valanciunas also being out, it definitely seemed like the injuries was a bigger issue for the Raptors, especially with the depth the Pacers have at center.
